The Finance and Accounting Impact of Strategic Planning
This one-and-a-half-day course has been designed by Teri Wallis to build a bridge between the approval of a strategic plan and the implementation and execution of it. This course will benefit the employees of utilities who ultimately make any plan happen. Just about every decision has a financial impact, so this course will keep the financial and accounting ramifications the central focus.
Who Should Attend:
Accounting and finance staff, supervisors, and management, as well as any employee ultimately responsible for implementing the strategic plan.

This three-day course is designed to prepare new and future foremen, crew leaders, and others in supervisory capacities for the challenges of effective leadership in an environment that includes a new generation of workers with different frames of reference toward employers and the workplace. Participants will gain insight into what people respect in leaders and how to develop their own unique leadership style.
Who Should Attend:
Foremen and crew leaders.
