SPECIAL FEATURE: Participants Will Receive a Set of Practical Templates suitable for all sectors

In today’s volatile and margin-compressed business environment, many organisations are growing in revenue yet quietly weakening in profitability and cash flow. Rising input costs, pricing pressure, rigid customer contracts, extended credit terms, foreign exchange volatility, and weak commercial negotiation discipline are steadily eroding financial resilience.

Too often, critical commercial decisions — pricing, discounting, contract terms, payment structures, and expansion commitments — are made based on intuition, sales pressure, or accounting profit figures rather than sound financial logic. The result is a dangerous pattern: businesses that look profitable on paper but are structurally fragile in cash, margins, and risk exposure.

This 2-Day Executive Masterclass is designed to close that gap.

It equips managers and leaders with practical financial frameworks to make disciplined cost-driven decisions, translate cost movements into defensible pricing actions, structure trade transactions safely using Letters of Credit, and negotiate commercial terms from a position of financial strength.

Participants will move beyond theoretical finance into real-world commercial decision-making — learning how to identify decision-relevant costs, protect contribution margins, manage credit and trade risk, and negotiate contracts that preserve both profit and cash flow.

1. Confidently managing and interpreting P&L, ROI and Cash Flow to support sound managerial and commercial decisions.
2. Applying Cost-Based Scenario Stress Testing techniques to assess financial impact under changing business conditions.
3. Using a structured Cost-Driven Decision-Making Framework to evaluate pricing, discounts, contracts and investment choices.
4. Controlling trade and credit risk effectively through Letters of Credit (LC) and understanding their practical application in real transactions.
5. Negotiating commercial and financial terms from a position of financial strength, protecting margins and cash flow.
6. Developing realistic and defensible budgets aligned with business strategy and operational realities.
7. Using Goal Seek and financial simulations to achieve management targets for sales, profit and cash flow.
8. Identifying early warning signs in costs, margins and cash flow and proposing practical actions to improve financial performance and productivity.
9. Contributing more effectively and credibly in budgeting, pricing and performance discussions with finance teams and senior management.
