Warren Buffett once said: “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.“
It always takes a lot of effort and endeavours to build a good reputation but once it is earned, it can literally open “all doors”. Finance function in every company is a central place that holds the ownership and interpretation of financial data hence many times faces struggles by not being enough understood or recognized.
Improving relationships with and earning trust from internal clients (i.e., all other departments) can sometimes be a real challenge for finance professionals. In this course we will share why reputation is considered as one of the most important intangible assets one can acquire and how to protect it. Furthermore, topics will cover major reputation risks from a finance perspective, examples of situations that can cause reputation risk within finance function and steps one can take to avoid and minimize the damage by using methodologies, digital skills, latest trends and best practices in Robotics Process Automation (RPA).
Finally, through this course we will acknowledge participants with the steps that can be undertaken in order to build trust and good relationship with their peers, and how to retain it at the respected level.
Join us for an exciting day of expert-led presentation and hands-on workshop that will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of connection between reputation and automation, and how it can be applied.
