Agility in Finance
Training
- 3 days
- Live Online Class
- ICAgile Certification
When organizations adopt agile approaches enterprise-wide, one of the most common challenges is changing the way finance and accounting functions operate. In the traditional world, financial planning most often occurs annually, with budgets allocated in advance and success measured in relation to budgets. In today’s complex business environment, this no longer works and new approaches are needed.
Success today is about sustainable delivery of customer value, while also empowering the people who are closest to the work to make good decisions. This means approaching finance, accounting and procurement with an Agile mindset.
Learn how to change the way budgeting and cost allocation is undertaken, reexamine accounting approaches and take more collaborative and incremental approaches to procurement.
The Learning Outcomes of this course have been built by pioneering practitioners from around the world, drawing on their real experiences helping organizations become agile in finance. Stephen (Steve) Milligan, the instructor for this course is a contributor to the course’s Learning Outcomes.
This three-day virtual training course will provide you with hands-on skills that you can immediately apply to the real world and in your job.
