Senior managers often have to make sense of vast amounts of information quickly and present it succinctly and clearly at board level. Speed reading is an essential skill, so are report writing and presentation techniques. This course builds on existing knowledge in these areas and provides an opportunity for delegates to take a step back and see the big picture more clearly. Participants will study how to select and present the right information in the right way, combining all these skills with some understanding of how and why people absorb new knowledge.
