Many organisations want their managers to think more commercially, yet training on this is hard to locate when you want to develop commercial thinking skills as opposed to learning calculations. This unique two-day workshop inspires and equips managers to think more commercially and take ownership for their contribution to business success.
It is facilitated by a senior consultant with commercial retail expertise and a guest entrepreneur with a proven record in improving profitability for many well known businesses. Their combined knowledge and experience brings learning to life and makes it relevant by applying business context to help delegates make realistic on-the-job changes to think more commercially.
This is a classroom course.
