Strategic Financial Management - Turning Objectives into Results

Introduction

Finance may not be everything—but without revenue, controlled costs, and wise investment, there is no sustainable future.

In today’s business world, filled with jargon and buzzwords, clarity of purpose often gets lost. Too easily, leaders lose sight of the practical realities of financial management—the true engine powering successful organisations, both large and small.

This new virtual classroom seminar offers a thought-provoking exploration of how applying a financial lens can help clarify your business objectives and shape effective strategy. It will challenge you to reflect on key questions:

• What do we really mean by ‘values’?
• Are our values truly guiding the business—or are they just hollow statements?

Led by expert speaker Ralph Tiffin, the session revisits the core stages of strategic financial management, offering practical, actionable examples that you can immediately apply:

• Every business is somewhere in the cycle of birth, growth, stability, reinvention, or decline—where is yours?
• What emerging legislation could materially reshape your strategic objectives?
• How might current or future economic conditions change your priorities?

Drawing on lessons from successful UK businesses, this session will provide clear, practical advice to help strengthen your organisation’s financial management and strategic thinking.

It is designed for business owners, board members and trustees, legal and financial advisers, senior management including CEOs and CFOs and anyone responsible for aligning financial management with their organisation’s strategy.

This session will benefit delegates from all sectors, as understanding the financial motives and drivers of your customers, suppliers, and competitors is as important as understanding and managing your own.
