- Understand trends in non-financial reporting
Who Should Attend :- Management Accountants
- Financial Accountants
- Financial Officers
- Practising Accountants

- CFOs
- Business Analysts
Programme Overview
Many companies have traditionally built their management reports around financial numbers and budget
position with little emphasis on the non-financial measures that are the value drivers of revenue growth and
cost reduction.
Accounting and finance professionals are being challenged by their companies to build skills in non-financial
reporting so that their role in reporting becomes more of strategic business advisor than financial number-
cruncher.
This program will build skills in the tools and methods that underpin the non-financial reporting requirements of
companies.
Programme Objective
The goal of this course is to provide you with skills that can be immediately used upon return to your workplace.
Attendees will learn to use reporting tools to support business strategies that are broader than the traditional
financial and management reports. The learning will build on case studies based around these non-financial
reporting tools and link them back to business strategy. The course will also provide metrics to monitor
performance over time.

Strategic Management of Business & Technology
'If you don't know where you are going then any direction will get you there!' So goes the old proverb.
Unfortunately for many managers and organisations this continues to be the story of their approach to
planning and strategic decision making. But in an increasingly competitive and turbulent world and
business environment this is no longer enough, and effective strategic managers need to take control. Too
often the roads that are taken are congested with other 'traffic' or worse - dead ends. So an essential skill for
today's business leaders is the ability to identify a successful possible future for the organisation, define a
path to get there, acquire the necessary resources and then motivate and lead their people to get there.
And two key, if not essential ingredients, to the success of the modern organisation is the ability of a
strategic manager to create and integrate effective technology and innovation strategies with the broader
business strategy and direction of the firm, organisation or business unit. This new seminar will focus on
developing strategic thinking and planning skills and incorporating the critical technologies and
innovations that can make that happen.
Introduction
This intensive five day seminar will carefully consider how to:
- Generate strategic possibilities for the organisation
- Create enduring strategic and competitive advantage
- Identify and analyse trends in the organisation's operating environments
- Understand strategic spaces and strategic positioning
- Identify and prioritise strategic issues
- Stimulate, evaluate and implement effective technology and innovation strategies as a means of gaining
strategic advantage
- Manage turbulence and change
Key Benefits
- To identify the difference between strategic thinking and strategic planning
- To apply strategic analysis to the organisation's operating environments
- To apply a model for developing possible strategic futures for the organisation
- To recognise the role of technology and innovation as strategic enablers
- To apply the strategic management process to generate effective strategies and action plans
- To understand the nature of global competition and how to compete globally
- To generate and communicate strategic directions and plans
- To understand how to effectively manage change and show strategic leadership
Course Objectives
Strategic Management of Business & Technology
In an increasingly uncertain and technologically driven business world, organisations and the staff that
work for them need clearly defined direction, goals and a pathway for achieving these goals. Organisations
need a competitive edge and need innovative products, processes and people to give them that edge.
Without this they are like boats without a rudder, drifting whichever way the wind and currents of events
take them. To make this happen needs the leadership of high-performing and highly skilled managers who
understand and can develop effective and efficient strategic directions enabled by sound and
differentiated technology and innovation strategy.
ORGANISATIONAL IMPACT
Each participant will develop a clear understanding of how to create effective strategies, build competitive
advantage and enable these through intelligent use of technology and innovation. You will leave knowing
how to develop a strategic plan and deploy the resources needed to achieve your corporate and business
unit goals. You will leave being able to make a real strategic difference.

Day 2
Strategic Thinking & Planning
'If you don't know where you are going then any direction will get you there!' So goes the old proverb.
Unfortunately for many managers and organisations this continues to be the story of their approach to
planning and strategic decision making. But in an increasingly competitive and turbulent world and
business environment this is no longer enough, and effective strategic managers need to take control. Too
often the decisions are made without a clear understanding of what is impacting on the business, what is
likely to impact on it and what focus and future outcomes the stakeholders of the business are expecting.
So an essential skill for today's business leaders is the ability to identify a successful plausible future for the
organisation, define a path to get there, acquire the necessary resources and then motivate and lead their
people to get there. And two key, if not essential ingredients, to the success of a modern organisation are
the ability of a strategic manager to analyse and interpret the forces of the operating environments, and
the capacity to define outcomes (objectives) and strategies. This seminar will focus on developing strategic
thinking and planning skills and incorporating the critical strategic analysis and interpretation skills and
strategy development tools and techniques to define and lead a strategic pathway to success.
Introduction
This intensive five day seminar will carefully consider how to:
- Generate strategic possibilities for the organisation
- Create enduring strategic and competitive advantage
- Identify, analyse and interpret key strategic trends in the organisation's operating environments
- Understand strategic positioning
- Identify strategic priorities
- Develop and lead properly reasoned strategic responses
- Manage pathways to business success
Key Benefits
- To identify the difference between strategic thinking and strategic planning
- To apply strategic analysis to the organisation's operating environments
- To apply a model for developing possible strategic futures for the organisation
- To apply the strategic management process to generate effective strategies and action plans
- To understand the nature of strategic or competitive advantage
- To generate and communicate strategic directions, outcomes and plans
- To understand how to effectively manage change and show strategic leadership
