CFO Series Day 1: Enhancing Productivity

Description

Quality Is Free - But How Do We Measure the Cost?
Customers demand quality. We expect quality in what we do and in what we consume. In 1985, Philip Crosby told us that quality is free. We will examine Crosby's statement and look at the four aspects of the cost of quality - prevention, appraisal, internal failure and external failure. What are the true costs associated with each of these elements? How do we determine the way in which each aspect can be measured? We will test the adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure to see if this 16:1 relationship holds true. Quality matters, and we need to know how to evaluate the true cost of quality and the value.

Understanding and Mitigating External and Internal Risks: How?
Risk is everywhere, but which risks matter? In the dynamic landscape of modern business, the role of chief financial officer (CFO) extends far beyond financial management. It encompasses navigating an array of external and internal risks that can impact organizational performance and sustainability. This seminar will empower professionals with the foresight and practical tools needed to understand, anticipate, and mitigate both external and internal risks. We must be aware and anticipate. If we do not prepare properly, the organization will be exposed to avoidable and onerous risk. This course is essential for leaders and organizations that want to survive and thrive.

Insurance - How To Manage Your Insurance Program
At its core, insurance is risk management. What insurance does the organization need? What types? What limits should we buy? How large a deductible should we accept? What is the difference between a deductible and a self-insured retention? What do I need to know about insurance contracts? What should I expect from my insurance broker? What coverage is available and what do I need to buy? This is specifically designed for any leader responsible for insurance and risk. The insurance function is critical to the ongoing viability of an organization. We will review a practical approach to managing insurance.

Effective Implementation of Enterprise Risk Management
Many have tried to implement ERM, and many have failed. This seminar will provide a route map of how to implement an effective ERM program without disrupting the organization by building ERM practices into everyday management and planning.
