Solve complex business problems and identify lucrative opportunities   A Dutch merchant bank was keen for the professionals in its corporate finance department to learn a more systematic way of solving problems and identifying opportunities. In response, Words in Action developed Structured Problem Solving and Opportunity Finding, a two-day session in which participants learn to develop and communicate effective solutions to unstructured business problems and opportunities. The course was designed to help corporate finance professionals to: Develop clear and relevant objectives. List the relevant issues for investigation and outputs for an engagement. Plan and organise efficient data collection. Draw logical conclusions and develop practical recommendations for action. Manage the communication process throughout the assignment. Structured Problem Solving and Opportunity Finding has now become a standard training session for corporate finance professionals at this merchant bank. It continues to be repeated on a regular basis.
