What is the aim of this course?
This course will help you drastically improve your knowledge and skills in creating business models in Excel for traditional offline business such as: Retail, B2C services and products, B2B services and products. It is designed for those who want to become consultants, business analysts and people who need to be able to analyze any business in Excel. In the course you will learn 4 things:
The course is based on my 12 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting companies and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, improvement and turn-arounds in biggest companies from FMCG, SMG, B2B sector that I worked for. On many occasions I had to build business models in in Excel in order to estimate what is the value of the business and find ways in which I can improve it. Business models are also useful for internal purposes: planning, looking for opportunities, analyzing performance, business development. On the basis of what you will find in this course I have trained over 100 consultants, business analysts and managers who now are Investment Directors, CEO, COO, Partners in PE, Operational Directors, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members etc.
I teach through cases so most of the lectures are case studies showing how to present the business model in Excel. To every lecture showing a business model in Excel you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels shown in the Lecture, so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made business models that you can, with certain modification, apply in your work. The examples we will be showing here are heavily used in management consulting as well as PE, VC and strategic departments.
Why I decided to create this course?
Most consultants and business analysts struggle with building the business models in Excel as it requires a mixture of knowledge about the business, some fluency in simplification and presentation in Excel the logic behind the business. By training modeling your business in Excel you gain in-depth knowledge about your business and you can spot faster the links between seemingly unrelated issues. This course is designed to fill in the gaps and turn you into expert in business modeling. I strongly recommend this course to people who want to be in charge of the business as it will empower you to move your business forward.
To sum it up, I believe that if you want to build or to find improvements in any business you should master techniques related to modeling the business in Excel. That is why I highly recommend this course not only to consultants or business analyst that have to advice their customer but also to owners, founders of businesses as well as investment directors.
