Course Overview
Growth built on poorly controlled optimal capital structure reverses faster than it accumulated. In finance the difference between a healthy position on this part of financial and banking practice and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Applied research in financial and banking practice consistently shows that early structure around the financial and banking practice capability reduces downstream rework. Participants who influence optimal capital structure without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. It treats the wider financial and banking practice agenda as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the financial and banking practice discipline is working and when it is only appearing to. Most organisations already have a policy on optimal capital structure; far fewer can show it working. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this strand of financial and banking practice and prepares them for it. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this aspect of financial and banking practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
