Introduction

This program recognizes the increasing importance of a strategic balance between financial acumen and customer-centricity in ensuring long-term business success.

Financial management is no longer just the realm of accountants and finance professionals. Today, managers across all industries are expected to have a solid understanding of financial concepts, regardless of their department. The "Financial Management for Non-Financial Managers" course empowers participants with the knowledge to make informed decisions that drive profitability, sustainability, and growth.

The program also integrates "Project Management Fundamentals," ensuring that managers are equipped with the skills necessary to successfully lead projects that align with both financial objectives and customer satisfaction goals. Recognizing the growing emphasis on emotional intelligence in leadership, the "Emotional Intelligence for Managers" course prepares participants to effectively manage teams, resolve conflicts, and foster a positive organizational culture.

The program culminates in a final thesis, providing participants the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills learned throughout the course to a real-world business challenge.

Over the course of 20 days, participants will engage in interactive sessions, case studies, and hands-on activities designed to solidify their understanding of core concepts. Following the completion of the 20-day course, participants will be given 5 additional days to prepare and submit a final thesis, allowing them to delve deeper into a subject of their choice related to financial and customer-centric management, with an expected length of 4,500 to 5,000 words.
