Content Training Methodology
The course

As the business environment becomes ever more uncertain and turbulent, the requirement for professional leadership and effective management control throughout organisations is at a premium. Strategic Planning, Management Control & Effective Budgeting is for those who are dedicated to maximising the performance of their organisations, as well as their own individual value-added contribution (and that of the people who work for them). The elements of the course provide a structured, coherent and comprehensive framework for addressing the challenges which face professionals in respect of both their day-to-day and longer-term responsibilities.

This course will be particularly relevant to those professionals who are involved in setting the direction of the organisation (or that of their function within it), and are also accountable for the delivery of cost-effective processes, activities and operations. This course will provide professionals with a comprehensive range of skills essential to effectively leading both people and projects/processes in times of increasing global competition, and where budgets are inextricably linked with strategy formulation, people leadership, and cost analysis.
