Where Strategy Meets Financial Mastery
Many leaders shape strategy, manage budgets and make critical decisions, yet haven’t had formal training in finance or strategic planning. This program changes that.
Designed for senior leaders, Goodman Group’s Strategic Planning and Financial Management for Executives program blends strategic thinking with financial expertise to support high-stakes decision-making. Taught by leading instructors from the Goodman School of Business, it offers a hybrid format with in-person simulations that bring concepts to life. Participants will explore financial principles, strategic frameworks and leadership in action, building the confidence to align financial insight with business direction. Whether leading teams, reporting to boards or driving enterprise-level change, this hands-on program equips executives and senior managers with the tools to lead decisively and drive impact across their organizations.
“The course content was excellent for the level of leadership in the room. The course and the simulation exercise will be readily applied in the real world to great success. Amazing what a few days can do!”
– Steve Janzen, Director of Operations | Strategic Planning, Operational Excellence
