Presentation should be updated (references 2014 election, which was almost 5 years ago). Quality of audio was not great and speaker used too many filler words ("you know") throughout presentation

High level overview of developing and executing growth strategies...highlighted areas of focus to ensure growth strategy is more than just a nice but ineffective goal.

Excellent course that provides a great introduction or high level overview of the different ways the CFO can be involved in the growth initiative for a company.

Disproportionate time spent on macro business trends. The core of the program was rushed, with important slides glossed-over.
