The Commercial Development Programme is a great way to improve your institution's commercial capacity. Focusing on 4 key areas and led by Dr Tom Kennie, co-director of the national Top Management Programme for Higher Education (TMP), the course focuses on methods for improving your commercial skills.
This event will provide an opportunity for you to consider the financial dynamics and business issues associated with developing a CPD business stream in a HE context. It will involve use of some business simulation software to help demonstrate the financial implications of building a business plan and the financial dynamics associated with running such a business.
