Colleagues,
This is one more reminder of the upcoming Business Planning with Microfin seminar in Washington DC October 17 – 21, 2016 as well as similar training in London and Guatemala. I will need to close registrations for the Washington DC seminar on October 10, in about 12 days, so if you are interested in attending in Washington DC, please contact me as soon as possible. For those interested in attending in London, the early booking discount has been extended to October 14, 2016, and you are encouraged to contact me soon to take advantage of that $150 discount. I’m putting together a webinar option for December, so watch for notification of that training in the next few weeks.
Microfin training focuses on strategic planning as the basis for creating operational forecasts for program growth, revenue, and expenses. Tradeoffs regarding interest rate policy, organic vs. exponential growth, and capital structure all will be discussed along with how they relate to operational decisions. Participants will use a case study approach to learn the Microsoft Excel based tool, and will have a good feel for how to create their own projections when they leave the training. This will be a very interactive learning process and participants will be encouraged to share experiences, feelings, and ideas regarding the state of the industry as well as successes and challenges currently facing the provision of credit and savings services to the unbanked. Although not required, bringing a Windows based laptop is encouraged. Lunch and two coffee breaks will be provided each day.
Howard Brady, a seasoned microfinance consultant of 20 years, will teach the workshop. Howard has been a Microfin instructor with Chuck Waterfield, the original author of the software, since 2000. In April 2016, Howard assumed the future development and maintenance of Microfin. Howard's consultancies have helped increase the efficiency and effectiveness of MFIs worldwide, have helped organizations find solutions to delinquency issues, and have created appropriate internal audit and internal control environments. Howard integrates his first hand experiences into his teaching to provide practical solutions to complex issues facing MFIs today.
