Business Challenge

Make Decisions That Support the Financial Health of the Business, No Finance Experience Required

 

View Next Start Date

For anyone without a background in finance, discussions regarding financial business matters can quickly leave you feeling out of your depths. You may want to communicate how your work or team is contributing to the profitability and growth of the business, or mitigating risk, but can't find the right words to say to do it justice. 

Fortunately, this is a learnable skill. Though if reading financial textbooks or listening to financial theory isn't going to work for you, Business Challenge offers a risk and judgment-free way to do that. Presented as a simulation, you will work alongside teammates to learn how to use financial data to make decisions that support three key business value drivers: growth, profitability, and risk.

 

Ideal For

From individual contributors to people leaders, Business Challenge is a training simulation built to teach those without a financial background basic financial lessons in a way that is both understandable and practical.
