3. PHYSICAL PRODUCTS - VISUAL REMINDERS TO KEEP KEY CONCEPTS ALIVE

Many of the 'aha' moments in courses can come from the increased awareness of ourselves and our colleagues, which comes through REACH Profiles that are integrated into many of our courses.

The insights lead us to better recognise our tendencies and strengths, understand how to be more mindful of adapting to the needs and preferences of our team and our customers.

The insights are put into practice by appreciating the benefits of our diversity and either learning toadapt or implementing a strengths-based management approach.

We have a great range of high-quality products that can keep these impactful moments top of mind back in the workplace.

While many people find it difficult to deal with change in the workplace, the concept of continuous improvement should be embraced and used for the growth of any organisation. And continuous improvement almost always requires some form of change to internal systems and processes that people have become comfortable with. An organisation that plans and prepares for change is better able to overcome these challenges and implement improvements as required.

Internal changes should be implemented after the creation of the new strategy or system, however most organisations and/or employees are not prepared for internal changes to policies or external strategies. Hence the requirement for change management training is commonplace in most industries.

The PD Training Change Management Training Course provides participants with training and development in each step of the change process including the planning and preparation stages and the communication and implementation stages. Being prepared for the changes allows your organisation to grow steadily in spite of the potential pushback by staff. If everyone is included in the change process, the staff will experience much less frustration, stress, attrition, etc.

This practical, professional development training course in Change Management is available now throughout Australia, including Brisbane, Sydney, Parramatta, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

This workshop will also give all participants an understanding of how change is implemented and some tools for managing staff's reactions to change.

Project Management Training OUTLINE

Foreword:

In the past few decades, organisations have discovered that the principles used to create enormous successes in large projects can be applied to projects of any size. As a result, many employees are expected to understand project management techniques and how to apply them to projects of all sizes and time frames. The project management role is arguably one of the most challenging of roles within the project team. As the project progresses through its various life cycle stages, project managers must be able to adapt themselves to the changing demands of the project and the team.

Effective and efficient Project Managers will ensure project success and help organisations and individuals exceed stakeholder expectations. This workshop will introduce participants to the entire project management process, as well as key project management tools and principles that can be used every day.

This course is a combination of financial theory and practical application of financial concepts in Microsoft Excel. A large component of the course will be centred around the application of the Discounted Cash Flow Model (DCF), a popular valuation method used to assess the value of projects and companies. At the completion of this course, participants should be able to construct a DCF Model, as well as have a good understanding of the underlying financial concepts used to build it.

Introduction to Financial Modelling in Excel OUTLINE

Foreword:

Financial modelling is widely employed within industry because it forces us to critically think about how a business or project will perform in the future, as well as how risky we believe it to be. Additionally, in constructing a DCF model, you will need address many of the corporate finance issues commonly encountered within industry today. Finance plays a central role in almost all industries, and acquiring foundational knowledge benefits almost all working professionals. Some examples include the following: Investment Bankers: employ financial models to help them triangulate a “market price” for the firm/business they are trying to sell.Engineers: use financial models to help them evaluate the feasibility of new projects, such as mine sites, oil wells, and manufacturing plants.Lawyers: are commonly asked to develop cases regarding the assumptions used to value assets/businesses/projects, and whether these assumptions were appropriate.Board members/Executives: need a working knowledge of basic finance to understand merger and acquisition deals, as well as how best to structure their firm.

Outcomes:

Developing a Discounted Cash Flow Model (DCF) Understanding and ability to apply Project Evaluation Criterion (NPV, IRR, Payback Periods) Calculating Free Cash Flows Estimating Beta for public and private firms. Estimating the Cost of Equity and WACC Understanding how key variables to the DCF impact upon project and business valuation. Ability to utilise Excel’s Data Tables and Goal Seek
