BE ONE STEP AHEAD AND LEAD THE FUTURE OF FINANCE
The role of finance leaders has evolved. It's not just about governance and compliance, performance accountabilities and trustworthy financial data anymore.
Finance has a key part to play in helping organisations create and maximise strategic value, providing insights informing current and future decisions.
How do you drive and influence strategic decisions instead of merely reporting on progress? How do you make strategy your priority and stop being stuck in the weeds?
Our program (100%online) is specifically designed for you to unlock your potential as a strategic finance leader. Here is what makes the difference:
1. Small cohort program: we select our participants carefully to promote the best learning and collaborative environment and help them make the most of the program
2. Focus on subject matters that will create impact: strategy development and implementation frameworks, influence decisions and create a culture of high performance, leverage innovation in technology and process excellence
3. Weekly momentum sessions: our expert facilitators guide participants through the program but they also coach them weekly to move the dial forward on what they are working on
4. Real-time results: we realise your team members won't become more impactful by simply acquiring more knowledge. We believe in learning by taking meaningful actions and our program includes the development of their own roadmap (supported by their internal Sponsor) to enhance the strategic value of your Finance department.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
In a high-performance setting with peers from organisations across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, you will work through a series of workshops and exercises that are brought back into your day-to-day work environment, ensuring you are practising and transferring the learning into results.
The program culminates with the development and presentation of your personal ‘strategic leadership roadmap’ which links together the pillars of the program and the enablement of your finance leadership.
If you come on this learning journey to stretch to lift your performance, you will go through the following phases:
Onboarding and Standards of Participation Session

The program reminded me of the importance of "stepping on the balcony" to make observations. It has also helped me take full ownership of my role and involvement within the organisation to lead change in the strategy space.
Adopting a strategic thinking focus has led me to manage synergy, hypothesis and rationale on M & A targets that I used to positively influence and align with senior stakeholders around those decisions and reach great outcomes.
"Rather than taking a narrow view and getting lost in the details, my mindset has now shifted to take into account the “WHY” of every decision and its impact on long-term growth of the company, therefore creating strategic value. The Senior Leadership Team has shown confidence and trust in my abilities, which I am sure will enable me to continue to lead strategic projects in the future."
"Since undertaking this course, my profile in the business has raised immensely with the CEO and other leaders. I now feel confident in my ability to identify gaps in strategy and to create alignment in our daily tasks to help achieve business goals. I’m proud to have been praised for my ability to manage others to deliver genuine strategic outcomes and recognised for thinking strategically."
