Today is about giving you a taste of what you can expect on our programme. Outcomes are what matter, not aspirations or dreams, and our Negotiation Skills elective is designed to help you achieve better outcomes most of the time. Money and how best to use it are at the heart of any business decision.

Our Venture Capital & Private Equity elective shows you current best practice in making investment decisions, and gives you a process which you can use in any scenario.
