Program Professional Framework
Driving Business Value Through Cash Flow Optimisation
Program Overview
Profit does not equal value: enterprise value is driven by the free cash flow a business generates and the capital it consumes. This programme, «Driving Business Value Through Cash Flow Optimisation», links cash-flow decisions to value creation through free cash flow analysis, working capital levers on receivables, inventory and payables, capital expenditure discipline, supply chain finance and dynamic discounting. Participants quantify how each lever affects ROCE and discounted cash flow value and build a prioritised cash improvement roadmap suited to GCC corporates and government-related entities.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants analyse the financial statements of a listed GCC company or their own organisation, build a value driver tree, quantify three working capital and capex levers in cash and value terms, and present a prioritised cash optimisation roadmap.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
