This five-course pack from BPP seeks to develop the skills needed for finance professionals to meet the changes they are now facing in their roles. Times, and perceptions, have changed. Increasingly businesses are looking to finance to be more of a partner in their success and less of an overhead. This change of perception has led to increasing opportunities for finance professionals within businesses, away from the day to day processing of journals or budgets. This change of direction has also become a challenge; do finance professionals have the appropriate business and relationship skills, and behaviours, to meet the new role? 

This pack aims to provide knowledge and a development structure that will enable you to meet the changing demands of the modern day finance professional. By completing this pack, you will gain a better understanding of:  

• communicating effectively 
• how to give excellent presentations 
• the nature of management and leadership 
• the key elements of effective project management (using Prince 2 methodology) 
• how to negotiate successfully.

Is your organisation or project running efficiently? When things are going well, we often don’t spend enough time looking for efficiency improvements, and if things are going badly there can be a tendency to resort to arbitrary cost-cutting which can risk success in the long term.

This course provides a framework to help you improve your organisation’s efficiency. It helps you to analyse your business, consider where to best focus your resources and review how to balance short-term cost reductions with longer-term business needs to ensure a secure future for your business. Discover how to best plan your cost savings and, once you have decided on your plan, how to deliver this project and manage stakeholder expectations.
