Course Overview

The audit trail behind merger financial negotiation matters as much as the decision itself. Growth built on poorly controlled this part of financial and banking practice reverses faster than it accumulated. Participants finish able to explain the financial and banking practice discipline to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Mature organisations treat merger financial negotiation as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Moving the financial and banking practice capability from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this part of financial and banking practice is examined from more than one functional angle. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of merger financial negotiation and supervised application. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this area of financial and banking practice, not around theory headings. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the financial and banking practice capability sustainable.
