Article Written By: olinschool

Whether you need to fine tune your finance skills or confront a fear of finance strategies, the new Financial Skills for General Managers certificate program offered by the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis is an excellent opportunity for mid- and senior-level managers to strengthen their knowledge of finance.

Financial Skills for General Managers is one of three new open enrollment certificate programs designed to equip managers with the skills and strategies needed to meet the challenges of the new normal economy. Taught by distinguished Olin faculty, the programs are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of new concepts and skills to increase managers effectiveness. In addition to financial skills, Olin offers certificates in Leadership Essentials for Managers and Supply Chain Strategy and Management.

The certificate program is offered in four two-day modules to optimize the learning experience and accommodate busy managerial schedules. The curriculum will give participants the skills to critically evaluate projects, alliances and possible acquisitions for their organizations. Upon completion of the program, students will have a firm grasp of financial terminology and be better equipped to approach financial strategies.

Olin s certificate program courses are held on the Washington University campus in the Charles F. Knight Executive Education and Conference Center in St. Louis.

Olin graduate certificates add distinction and prestige to the resume of any business professional, manager, and executive,” says Panos Kouvelis, PhD, senior associate dean and director of executive programs at Olin.

Participants not only acquire the certified business acumen, but also gain an enduring network of useful contacts, says Kouvelis, the Emerson Distinguished Professor of Operations and Manufacturing Management.

Discounts are available for companies sending three or more to the same certificate program and a limited number of scholarships are available for entrepreneurs, small businesses and nonprofits.

Financial Skills for General Managers. Certificate program begins: April 6, 2011.
