Business Strategy and Financial Performance

Testimonials

Here is a sample of what participants have to say about their experience taking Business Strategy and Financial Performance (previously Driving Value through Business Acumen).

This course exceeded my expectations. It contained up-to-date information very relevant to various industries. In addition, the course got me to do my own research in preparation of the weekly ALP; so the learning curve was beyond what I had anticipated. I was also lucky that the course timeline coincided with strategy developments within my firm; so I had the privilege of implementing immediately learned concepts into my business. I highly recommend the course.
