Certificate in driving organizational profit and performance

In order to achieve their goals and sustainable long-term financial success, business leaders need a clear understanding of the environment and a strategic vision for the future.

Many organizations have difficulty aligning their strategic priorities and fail to understand the impact important issues such as customer profitability can have on their business. Those that prioritize performance management (PM) are better equipped to do this.

Using PM tools in strategic decision-making can help business leaders better manage and mitigate risk, ensure effective pricing and make small operational changes that benefit the bottom line.

Develop your understanding of how PM will help to improve your organization’s profitability with the Certificate in Driving Organizational Profit and Performance.

This program is geared towards mid-level professionals and senior business and accounting leaders with more than five years of experience. The roles and industries listed below would find this program the most beneficial; however, the concepts can be applied across a variety of industries and positions.

Through a mix of self-directed and facilitated learning, this certificate integrates theoretical knowledge with case study analysis on a variety of topics.

Online self-paced modules focus on applied insights to help effectively manage cost, profitability and pricing for superior business performance. The in-depth capstone session, facilitated by PM experts, provides an opportunity for deeper discussions about key tools and concepts.

The capstone session is also a chance to strengthen the skills you’ve acquired in the program.

Note – this program is undergoing a review and registration will be re-opened in at the end of the year.
