Creating Strategic Business Value

In Abilitie’s Creating Strategic Business Value Program, participants expand their perspective of financial analysis and business valuation in a cohort-based blended curriculum that focuses on driving long-term value and creating data-driven strategy.

Abilitie’s Creating Strategic Business Value Program

Participants in Abilitie’s Creating Strategic Business Value Program gain deep insight into how strategic decisions can build value over the long term. They build an understanding of capital investments, learn how to plan for maximum returns, and practice communicating complex financial concepts. We work with you to adapt this program to the specific needs of your organization, focusing on core competencies for learners such as:

  • Managing Organizational Growth Using Key Performance Indicators
  • Allocating Resources Strategically with Long-term Success in Mind
  • Projecting the Impact of Strategic Decisions
  • Engaging in Executive-level Dialogue Using Financial Terms and Data

Abilitie’s Finance Challenge simulation serves as the foundation of this cohort-based program that also includes our Fluent in Finance financial acumen course and engaging guided case studies.

Finance Challenge Simulation

(Synchronous, virtual or in-person)

At the heart of our Creating Strategic Business Value Program is our Finance Challenge simulation, which gives senior leaders a hands-on, competitive space to practice evaluating capital investments, analyzing executive-level financial data, and driving strategic initiatives to build business value.

Core competencies include:

  • Making Strong Investment Decisions
  • Understanding Return on Invested Capital
  • Communicating Complex Financial Concepts
  • Driving Strategic Execution

Fluent in Finance

(Asynchronous, online)

Abilitie’s award-winning Fluent in Finance is an 8 to 16-hour introductory-level online course in business finance that combines the convenience and best practices of online delivery with rich interactive media and business simulations.

Participants have access to the course as a refresher of basic financial concepts.

Client Financials

(Synchronous, virtual or in-person)

With support from an expert facilitator, participants evaluate the real financials of your organization, prepared in partnership between Abilitie and an internal subject matter expert. Through Socratic-questioning and engaging team-based discussion, participants draw insights that can be leveraged in building value for your organization.

Audience

The Creating Strategic Business Value Program is the perfect learning environment for senior directors and non-financial VPs who need a challenging, real-world practice environment to gain a deep understanding of financial impact and investment analysis.

Senior Director to Non-Financial VP Level

Used at Fortune 500 organizations across the globe.

Commonly Used for High-Potential Directors

An ideal leadership experience for rising leaders who will one day sit at the executive table.

It was great to understand how a business works from a high level perspective and see how all the parts fit together to run a successful company. Sometimes we concentrate so much on our specific areas, that we don’t always consider the larger picture.

I was able to bring formulas and models directly from the program to shine a light on problems my client was having (and talk them out of a less-than-advisable investment).

Program Details

The Creating Strategic Business Value Program guides participants to understand financial statements and make data-driven decisions while giving them new tools to connect their day-to-day work with the big picture of the business. The program design leverages Abilitie’s award-winning simulations and rich Socratic debriefs.

The program had a strong impact. Instead of remembering financial terms, I had the chance to make mistakes and learn from them.
