An eight-week online programme that gives non-financial leaders the confidence to read, question, and act on the numbers behind their decisions.

The programme is built for functional and general managers who make commercial decisions without a finance background. Nothing assumes prior training, and nothing is simplified past the point of usefulness.

  • Reading the three statements and understanding how they connect
  • Unit economics, contribution, and where margin is actually made or lost
  • Capital allocation, investment cases, and the cost of capital in practice
  • The questions worth asking finance, and how to interpret the answers

Participants work through the published financials of a real company across the eight weeks, building toward an investment recommendation reviewed by faculty.

What you will learn

Financial statements, unit economics, and capital allocation explained for leaders who never trained in finance. The emphasis is on interpretation rather than preparation.

The rigour throughout was exceptional. Nothing was simplified for comfort, and the feedback was specific enough to act on the following week.

Board Readiness gave me the vocabulary and the confidence to contribute from my first meeting rather than spending a year working out the rules.

Twelve weeks that changed how I make decisions. The faculty pushed harder than any board I have sat on, and the capstone reshaped our strategy.
