This course aims to bridge the gap by instilling in executives a general intuition for data-driven decision making and equipping leaders with the tools and techniques necessary to analyze large databases and use effective data visualization to gauge key metrics.

This program prepares executives with a general understanding of accounting and financial principles as they relate to organizations' operations and decision-making processes. It also prepares financial analysts and investors with a general understanding of the valuation content and limitations of financial statement information.

Taught by thought leader Aswath Damodaran, this program is for equity research analysts who are interested in examining alternative valuation approaches; corporate financial officers who want to understand the details of valuation for planned acquisitions or to gain value enhancement strategies for their firms; analysts involved in mergers and acquisitions who seek to acquire a wider repertoire of valuation skills; or portfolio managers who are interested in the effects of corporate restructuring on firm value, and the implications for portfolio management.

Disruptive leadership is an essential skill for any business leader, from a start-up to a global corporation, with the desire to transform organizational processes and behaviors.

This program is meant for those who wish to better understand and further develop their potential and propensity to lead others. The program is based on the premise that leadership is not a genetic inheritance. It’s a skill to acquire and master. A journey to commence and complete.
