Developed at Columbia University, the Bottom Line Mini-MBA is a management and executive development program that aligns your people around the common language and analytical tools of business. This comprehensive program gives participants the business insight and understanding they need to “think in real time” in today’s fast-moving corporate environment. The course provides participants with a clearer vision of financial objectives and metrics, sharpens business acumen, and lays the groundwork for smart, business-savvy decision making that will favorably impact your company’s productivity and profitability.

Gaining competence and confidence in business essentials

This innovative training course has been delivered to thousands of executives and managers in Global 50 companies throughout every region of the world. It improves performance by:

  • Demystifying the basic principles of sound business practices.
  • Providing a practical understanding of the fundamental building blocks of business: economics, strategy, finance, accounting and marketing.
  • Teaching the language and skills needed to effectively and fully participate in today’s decision making process.
  • Challenging “conventional wisdom” and developing the ability to think, adapt, and thrive in a continuously changing corporate and economic climate.

Building a solid foundation for leadership

The Mini-MBA jump-starts leadership development. It improves communication, increases engagement and enhances performance by getting all your people on the same page. Participants will come away with a clear understanding of how the business works and how it sustains profitability. They’ll gain valuable insight into how all the parts fit together—and they’ll know with certainty how their individual contributions affect and must drive the bottom line.
