Why You’re Wasting $$ On Finance Skills Training
Most Finance Directors say that having the right people with the right skills is their number one priority for delivering business value from Finance.
Yet, in my experience not many FDs identify the specific capabilities needed by their finance business partners, as opposed to general skills like ‘presenting with impact’ or ‘influencing skills’.
As a result a lot of learning and development money gets spent on general ‘soft skills’ training - presentation skills, negotiation skills etc. Does this really drive more business value?
