THE BUSINESS EXPERIENCE FOR HOUSING ASSOCIATIONS
The Business Experience significantly improves commercial awareness, financial understanding and business acumen of anyone working in a Housing Association
We take groups of delegates and immerse them in a competitive market environment. They run competing companies, making all the key decisions and then live with the consequences. Our highly experienced trainers interpret delegate performance, advise teams and reinforce best practice as well as your key business messages
The benefits to the firm are huge

- How to make financial decisions
