The purpose of this session is to provide managers from all departments with an understanding of financial reports, financial performance measures (ratio analysis), financial markets (risk and return measures) and the integration of finance and operations. The session is intended for middle and senior managers interested in how financial management can impact their decisions and opportunities. The session assumes no prior background in finance.

The uncertainties we face often obscure the best, most exciting opportunities available to us. Seeing beyond such uncertainties requires a very different approach to project management and implementation. Dr. Pearson's workshop will teach you how to: (1) develop and analyze multiple project scenarios; (2) craft nimble strategies with just the right amount of flexibility; (3) implement those strategies using an options approach; and (4) make real-time adjustments through dynamic monitoring.

This program will examine some key ways in which generations differ and how we can avoid some the 'traps' of intergenerational stereotyping as we seek to build effective working relationships. We shall explore how age-diversity is driving new employer/employee expectations and what we can do to manage these expectations, as well as how our own preferences, values, and backgrounds can help or hinder our effectiveness in communicating and working intergenerationally.

(NOTE: Participants are asked to complete online prework for this session.) What management and leadership skills are required to build a global network that is humming with the electricity of human ideas, energy, and customer satisfaction? How can we transform our individual behavior patterns, team practices, and organizational systems for global success? This program draws on input from thousands of global managers and expatriates, sharing recommendations for success and providing participants with an opportunity to reflect and to plan their own global futures.

This workshop will open you up to possibilities you never dreamed off and give you the tools you need to begin your transformation. Your internal changes will be rapidly reflected in the world outside and lead you to an immeasurably more fulfilling life. Bring an open mind to this workshop because you will be confronted with unconventional ideas. The exercises you will learn will produce powerful results if you work with them conscientiously after the workshop.
