ZOP1020: Commercial Acumen
Program Overview
Highly successful businesses have executives who know how to competitively position their companies in the market by setting and articulating strategic objectives, understanding the key value drivers for their business and industry, and translating strategy into action at an operational level. By focusing on the link between an organisation’s strategy and its financial and operational data, executives are able to improve their ability to formulate strategy, measure and drive profitability, assess value creation, interpret risk, manage quality, manage costs and allocate resources more efficiently and effectively.
The Commercial Acumen Program has been developed by AIM•UWA Business School Alliance faculty members with expertise in strategy, finance and operations management. The program teaches participants from non-financial and technical backgrounds how to interpret operational and financial data in order to competitively position their business units or companies. By studying the best practices of successful organisations, and the questionable practices of others, participants gain the insights that they need to drive value creation.
Designed for
Commercial Acumen is designed for senior managers with non financial backgrounds who are looking to augment their financial knowledge. Organisations are encouraged to send executives from functioned areas such as operations, planning, IT, marketing, HR, legal and government affairs, and R&D.
