Executive Training
Build the financial judgement your managers need
Viva's programmes are designed and delivered by strategy and financial advisors, not lecturers. Participants learn by doing: they make decisions in business simulations, see the financial consequences, and apply the lessons to their own work.
How we teach: learning by simulation
Managers rarely change how they decide after a lecture. They change after they have made a decision, seen it play out, and understood why.
- 01
Decide
Participants work through realistic business cases, such as judging a company's results, setting credit and stock terms, or valuing future cash flows.
- 02
See the result
The simulation shows the effect on profit, cash and return immediately, with results compared across the group.
- 03
Understand why
An advisor-led debrief connects each result to the financial principle behind it.
- 04
Apply it
Participants carry the lesson into a real decision from their own unit.
