Course Overview

Growth built on poorly controlled supply chain financing reverses faster than it accumulated. Models supporting this aspect of financial and banking practice fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. A common pattern is strong design of the financial and banking practice capability paired with weak follow-through. Where supply chain financing is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this area of financial and banking practice so that teams can disagree productively about it. The level assumes working familiarity with the business line but no prior formal training in the financial and banking practice discipline. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about supply chain financing in their own setting. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the financial and banking practice capability has actually achieved. The final session converts the week's work on this area of financial and banking practice into commitments with owners and dates.
