What you walk out with
A scored, ranked picture of your own function, and a defensible answer to what to fix first.
1 You stop guessing where you stand.
You finish with a score, not an opinion: every part of your function rated red, amber or green, with the weakest ranked first. Evidence: a Quick Scan for the shape of it, then seven domain assessments of 30 scored questions each, 210 in all, rolled into one scorecard, plus a maturity radar and a current-versus-target gap analysis.
2 You can defend the decision.
You walk into the budget round with the gap named, the owner named and done defined, instead of a case built on instinct. Evidence: project charter, scope statement, RACI, requirements traceability and work breakdown structure, pre-filled in your domain's language.
3 The work actually moves.
The month after the decision is already built, so nothing stalls waiting for someone to design a form. Evidence: more than 60 project templates across all five PMBOK process groups, plus runbooks, SOPs, a KPI framework, audit checklists and a risk matrix. 55 to 65 files in total.
4 You use it the day it lands.
No blank templates to interpret. Every workbook opens with what it is, who uses it, when, how, a 1 to 5 scoring guide, what good looks like, and a worked example you delete and type over.
The Quick Scan is one sitting. You will know your weakest area before the day is out.
Nothing in it is generic project management: the build rejects any file that could belong to another course. Updated after you enrol, so it reflects where the work stands now. The 144-chapter course is included behind it, for the parts you want to go deeper on.
Your decisions on cash allocation, liquidity, and currency exposure are being tested like never before.

The situation this is built for

You’re accountable for accurate daily cash positioning, reliable forecasting, and optimal yield — all while managing complex intercompany structures, multiple banking partners, and fluctuating regulatory demands. New approaches promise faster access, real-time yield, and seamless multi-currency handling, raising questions about the resilience and relevance of current processes. You need to know where your function stands — and what to do next — without reacting to hype.

Who this is for

Group Treasurer overseeing global cash management, liquidity strategy, and banking relationships across a multi-entity organization

Who this is not for

This is not for finance generalists, junior analysts, or those focused only on local cash operations without group oversight

What you walk away with

  • Clarity on the current maturity of your treasury operations
  • A framework to evaluate strategic decisions in cash positioning and liquidity
  • Insight into the real trade-offs behind multi-currency management
  • Confidence in defending or evolving your current operating model
  • A documented path to strengthen treasury’s role in enterprise resilience

How this maps to your situation

  • Current operations under strain from complexity and speed
  • External models raising questions about internal effectiveness
  • Need for credible assessment without vendor dependency
  • Pressure to demonstrate leadership and foresight

Before vs. after

Before
Uncertain about the strength of current processes, reacting to external pressure, lacking a clear path forward.
After
Confident in the maturity of treasury operations, equipped with a prioritized plan, and ready to lead with authority.

If nothing changes
Continuing without a structured assessment risks undetected vulnerabilities in cash reporting, inefficient use of liquidity, and diminished credibility when strategic decisions arise.
