Event Details
Professionals who use data analytics, business modeling, and statistics will find techniques and tools in this program to operate with confidence when faced with complex decisions. Those creating a structure within their organization that enables creativity, innovative thinking, and sound decision-making will gain insights to optimize their design. Managers who want to optimize effectiveness and profitability within their organizations, and those making marketing or product decision with data, regardless of their quantitative experience, will benefit from this program.
Pivotal business decisions often involve multiple players, potentially conflicting objectives, and emerging market factors that drive long-term changes in business environments. Many organizations do not have structures in place to pool data much less leverage it well. To make reliable strategic decisions, you’ll need to develop a deep understanding of how to interpret data in light of external forces. This program will approach challenges in a systematic way, and will help you become empowered and more confident with the process of making both short and long-term data-driven decisions.
Most importantly, you will learn to look at your organizations’ data from a fresh and more in-depth perspective and will be able to think ahead of the curve to strengthen your competitive position in the marketplace.

Understanding financial information is essential for assessing a company’s health, and making strategic decisions that significantly impact the company’s performance.
How do you analyze and interpret key financial statements? What are the key drivers of value creation? How do you link performance measures to corporate or business unit strategy?
Most business leaders need to deepen their knowledge and expertise in the area of financial information analysis. Armed with the ability to interpret and apply financial information to their decision-making process, executives will enhance their leadership capabilities and profile, as well as the company’s potential for success.
Financial Analysis for Leaders is designed to provide you with the foundational knowledge of finance and accounting. It will demystify core concepts, clarify financial frameworks and help you unlock the power of financial information analysis through hands-on practice.
The objective is to help you be a more effective leader and to add more value to your organization, through financial information analysis.
All leaders, regardless of their background and area of focus, can benefit in their decision-making from well-informed financial information analysis.
Led by Berkeley Haas Professor, Panos N. Patatoukas, recently named by Fortune Magazine as a Top-10 business school Professor under 40, this five-day program features sessions on corporate financial reporting, cost management, value-based management, financial statement analysis, and corporate valuation.
Each day, we introduce and apply key concepts from finance and accounting through a combination of interactive lectures, exercises, case studies, and other real-world applications.
A distinctive feature of the program is a capstone, real-time project, which builds on all the concepts taught in the program.
The capstone project will help you unlock the power of financial information analysis through hands-on practice with a real-world company.
