Program: Strategies for Business Growth through Financial Consulting
A structured learning journey that connects growth strategy, financial clarity and executive decision-making, designed for leaders and advisors working with Italian businesses.
A journey from numbers to action
Each module builds on the previous one. You start by clarifying your growth story, then translate it into financial structure, risk scenarios and a roadmap that your team can execute.
The program combines live sessions, structured exercises and reflection time so that learning is translated into concrete next steps.
What you will be able to do after the program
This program is not about memorising formulas. It is about building a practical toolkit for navigating growth in your organisation and with your clients. By the end, you will be able to connect strategy, operations and finance in a single, clear conversation.
We focus on situations you actually face in Italy: banks asking for projections, partners negotiating margins, investors looking for proof that your growth story is realistic and sustainable.
- Read the early signals in profitability and cash flow and adjust before problems become urgent.
- Explain your growth strategy in a way that finance, operations and external partners can follow.
- Design scenarios and decision rules that guide your team through uncertainty.
Snapshot of the learning journey
Duration: typically 4 weeks for cohort format.
Format: live online sessions, with the option of workshop days in Milan.
Group size: kept intentionally small and focused.
Tools: editable dashboards, discussion guides and scenario templates.
Executive and in-company formats use the same foundations but adapt depth, pace and examples to your leadership team and sector.
Program modules
The core curriculum is structured around four modules. Each module combines focused input, exercises with your own context and time for reflection.
Growth story and financial lens
You clarify how your organisation creates value today, where you want it to be in three to five years and what this implies for your financial structure.
- Mapping your current growth engines and constraints.
- Translating strategy statements into measurable drivers.
- Building a simple “growth story” one-pager.
Profitability, cash and funding mix
You learn to read your income statement and cash flow through the lens of growth: which combinations of volume, price and cost allow you to grow without losing control.
- Understanding contribution margins and capacity.
- Connecting working capital, terms and growth.
- Comparing funding mixes for different growth paths.
Scenarios, risk and decision rules
You practice building a small number of meaningful scenarios and defining decision rules that make sense to your leadership team and stakeholders.
- Designing upside, base and downside scenarios.
- Identifying leading indicators and trigger points.
- Communicating risk in a way that enables action.
90-day growth and finance roadmap
In the final module you turn insights into a short, realistic roadmap that links growth initiatives, financial checkpoints and communication with internal and external partners.
- Prioritising initiatives for the next 90 days.
- Setting simple metrics and review rhythms.
- Preparing materials for boards, banks and investors.
Weekly structure for the cohort format
The cohort format gives you time to apply concepts step by step between sessions. You always know what is expected, and each week builds towards your 90-day roadmap.
-
1Week 1 – Clarity
Map your growth story, identify key drivers and review how your current reporting supports or hides them.
-
2Week 2 – Structure
Analyse profitability, cash and funding options. Build a simple financial view aligned with your strategy.
-
3Week 3 – Scenarios
Design scenarios, risk boundaries and decision rules that your team can use in practice.
-
4Week 4 – Roadmap
Create your 90-day growth and finance roadmap and prepare for upcoming conversations with stakeholders.
Executive and in-company adaptations
Executive intensives compress the curriculum into two focused days, with pre-work and follow-up sessions. In-company editions extend or deepen modules where your team needs more time.
Together we decide which decisions, metrics and scenarios should sit at the centre of your customised agenda.
