At ICAEW we define finance business partnering as:

  • building relationships;
  • translating data into commercial insight; and
  • influencing the key decisions that improve business performance

Strategic finance partners become true peers, sharing the lead. They are genuinely commercial, and transcend their role in finance. Their ability to facilitate the discovery of commercially viable alternatives that have better, more sustainable financial outcomes makes them highly valued in any organisation. This two day workshop is designed for experienced business partners, and alumni of our master class, Finance business partnering. You’ve already earned your seat around the table, have strong relationships, and are involved in decisions.

So what next?

One of the reasons why we are so passionate about finance business partnering is that it is a skill that is never truly mastered. However good we get, we can always get better. This two day workshop picks up where our 2-day Finance business partnering master class left off. After a quick recap of the main themes, we’ll stretch your thinking and show you how to become a strategic game changer. You’ll explore the breakthrough thinking techniques you can leverage to generate new insight fast with your business partners. You have already learned how to ask powerful questions, and the power of language. In this workshop you’ll go further and learn how to uncover hidden meaning in the things people say. Plus you’ll learn advanced language patterns to overcome resistance.

Advanced business partnering is all about gaining new perspective. You’ll explore the powerful technique of perceptual positions, helping you see situations through the eyes of your partners. This simple technique is incredible powerful, and alone can change the game and your thinking. You’ll then consider how your partners make decisions, and you’ll learn how to balance just the right amount of logic and emotion to facilitate fast decisions. You’ll finish the course by considering the very latest thinking in the science and art of influence.

You’ll start the day a great finance business partner. You’ll finish with the skills and understanding of how to be one of the best.

Learning outcomes:

  • How to uncover hidden meaning in conversations
  • How to use advanced language patterns to overcome resistance
  • How to use perceptual positions to gain new perspective
  • How to balance emotion and logic to facilitate quick decisions
  • Advanced influence techniques to become an agent of change

Who should attend?

Strategic finance partners who want to become true peers, sharing the lead, transcending their role in finance to become the ‘go to’ trusted advisor on business critical challenges.

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom provides the same great learning experience as other ICAEW training, except one difference, you can learn from your desk.

Being delivered online makes it so much easier to access in a busy working week and would definitively recommend this type of training. The breakout rooms work really well to allow you to get to know the other participants and share experiences.

The focus is on the learner and creating an enriching classroom experience that connects participants globally. Using video, learners can converse and interact with the trainer and other learners in real-time. Whiteboards, break-out sessions, polls, screen-sharing, and interactive Q&A create an immersive learning experience.

I think the virtual training format using Zoom, and the survey features, and break out rooms, really works great. I had no problems engaging with the facilitator and felt he listened to what we said, and kept the pace of the content moving steadily.

Iain Dewson

"Ian was excellent."

Delegate feedback

Iain is an audit-trained senior finance leader. He qualified as an ACA and took a finance career path through various industries and financial control and FP&A roles until he landed at TUI to run their global Finance Academy. He was responsible for the learning and development of over 3,500 finance colleagues in more than 42 countries, which was a radical change in direction and a real eye-opener. Spending almost six years running a global learning platform, as well as designing and delivering bespoke training programmes around the world, was a richly rewarding experience.

His finance background combined with his viewpoint of looking into finance as a senior learning and development leader has given him a unique perspective. He now concentrates on finance business partner training: building relationships, turning data into insights and bringing numbers to life.

Our public course programme is deliberately structured to encourage delegates from different organisations to participate. However, if you have six or more delegates who require development in the same area, we are able to run a more cost-effective and much wider range of courses tailored specifically to your organisation.

Organisations will have the choice to run our in-house courses online or in-person. 

These are ideal for organisations seeking hassle-free, flexible and cost-effective training delivered to multiple delegates at your location of choice. Whether we use our existing materials or develop new content for your business, our expertise lies in translating your requirements into a pragmatic, interactive training programme highly relevant to your people and organisation.
