Sando possesses well over a decade of professional experience in training and coaching business personnel. We provide education services to Australia’s top-tier Business Schools and are ideally placed to develop the skills and knowledge of your executives, managers and employees.
Sando’s philosophy for the training of executives, managers and employees is that training programs should revolve around the practical application of theory in day-to-day business, rather than just on the theory itself. Moreover, business training should be concise and allow for a rapid return on investment to the firm through the immediate application of learning into the workplace. This makes business training a specialised field and Sando possesses qualified facilitators that are experts in the effective design and delivery of such training.
Sando can support the ongoing development of your executives, managers and employees through the delivery of interactive workshops that are tailored to meet your firm’s specific needs. We have successfully presented such custom programs to clients on topics including economics, finance, visual communications and operations.
We can alternatively deliver training to your personnel through our highly-valued Professional Development Master Series programs. These short programs include:
- Effective Negotiations – informs executives, managers and employees about harnessing and using elements of negotiation such as power, motivation, patience, surprise, risk aversion and signalling. We further delve into concepts including the unseen impact of Agency issues, how to effectively drive counter parties towards desired outcomes, how to adjust personality to fit needs, how to assess best alternatives to a negotiated agreement, and why sometimes a rational expected outcome does not arise in a negotiation.
- Strategic Interactions and Introductory Game Theory – informs attendees about the pitfalls of asymmetric information and empowers them with the principals and techniques of game theory so that they may frame strategic interactions (whether one-shot or repeated, and whether simultaneous or sequential) and determine optimum courses of action.
- Applied Economics for Managers – motivates attendees to ‘think economically’ about their business, its operations and its challenges. The program provides personnel knowledge of supply and demand, market comparative statics, productivity, economies of scale, market forces, competition, scarce resource allocation, outsourcing and the macroeconomy.
- Introductory Corporate Finance – empowers attendees through the provision of knowledge of practical finance theory in relation to items such as the time-value-of-money, incremental cash flows, opportunity costs, working capital, depreciation, diversification, and the appropriateness, or otherwise, of different discount rates.
- Numerical Analysis Techniques for Business – informs attendees about numerical analysis techniques such as model mapping, sensitivity and scenario analysis, trend analysis, linear, non-linear, integer and dynamic optimisation analysis and multi-variable monte-carlo simulation.
- Presentation Techniques for Managers – informs attendees about the optimal method to convey business messages, both simply and accurately, to a targeted audience every time. Whether they be constructing a presentation for the BoD, a pricing table in an RFP response, or maybe even a monthly record of regional sales, we train attendees to understand that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” (Leonardo da Vinci) and that colourful ‘enhanced features’ can be counterproductive to efficient and effective communication of their message.
