Asen Gyczew – Decision Making with Excel for Managers
As a manager you will be tempted to trust your guts and use your experience to decide what and how to do it. Quite often this approach may be misleading. It is much better to use data driven approach and before you make the decision look at the potential consequences. In this course I will show you how to make more rational choices as a manger using Excel. We will go through a lot of case studies that will help you master this skill.
In the course you will learn the following things:
How to be data driven in solving problems
How to make better decisions using Excel
How to handle uncertainty when you are making decisions
Which method, framework you should use in a specific situation
This course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement and turn-arounds in biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried or supervised over 90 different performance improvement projects in different industries that generated in total 2 billion of additional EBITDA. On many occasions I had to grow, coach and supervise manger, directors and CEOs. On the basis of what you will find in this course I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 55 000 students including people working in EY, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange and many others
I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, tools that we use. To every lecture you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modification, be applied by you or your team in your work.
Why I decided to create this course?
I had the pleasure to support numerous Managers, Directors, COOs, CEOs and I have noticed that making decisions is a complicated process that requires a lot of data and the right approach to balance the pros and cons. You also have to take into account the uncertainty that managers have to deal with on daily basis. When you transition from a specialist to a manger or a director usually nobody shows you how to make decisions using data driven approach. We will try to fix this gap. This course will help you master numerous techniques that will make your life easier and help you make the right decisions.
To sum it up, I believe that if you want to be a successful manager and CEO you should master techniques and frameworks that will help you make better decisions. I will show in this course numerous useful methods and will teach how to use them in practice. That is why. I highly recommend this course not only to young managers, entrepreneurs but also for senior managers who want to learn data driven approach to decision making.
In what way will you benefit from this course?
The course is a practical, step by step guide loaded with tones of analyses, tricks, hints that will significantly improve the speed of analyzing and making decisions. There is little theory – mainly examples, a lot of tips from my own experience as well as other notable examples worth mentioning. Our intention is that thanks to the course you will learn:
How to be data driven in solving problems
How to make better decisions using Excel
How to handle uncertainty when you are making decisions
Which method, framework you should use in a specific situation
You can also ask me any question either through the discussion field or by messaging me directly.
