In a rapidly evolving environment, effectively leading teams that are split between remote working and onsite in office working is for the foreseeable future a critical skill for finance leaders. As finance teams start to transition from home working to a few days in the office, team motivation, productivity, transparency and cohesion can be materially impacted.

This virtual workshop will be facilitated by Oliver Deacon, a FCA who qualified at Deloitte and, until recently, was FD at Microsoft, where he gained first-hand experience of leveraging innovation and tech to lead a highly effective virtual finance team.

Session 1 – One Team: Effective communication and business partnering wherever the team is based (2.5 hours)

Effective communication and business partnering can be heavily impacted by an interrupted flow of information and reduced morale, as a result of either virtual working or teams split between home and office. The first session in the series provides practical frameworks and tools to help keep finance teams motivated, aligned and keeping the business informed and on track, through redefined communication rhythms, building strong relationships and sustaining team wellbeing and skills development.

Learning outcomes:

Understand the key challenges of leading remote and hybrid finance teams
The key leadership skills required for effective remote and hybrid teams

Understand the key challenges of remote business partnering
Best practices for remote business partnering and building credibility
How to provide leadership on difficult decisions and in time-critical situations

Session 2 – Productivity and Impact through prioritisation strategies and cloud collaboration (2.5 hours)

The second session provides an overview of the core people elements of remote and hybrid working to maintain organisational output: prioritisation strategies and cloud collaboration tools to maintain productivity. You will learn the productivity frameworks and tools to enable your finance teams to continue working effectively whether they’re remote or split between home and office, and the best practice on how to deliver the core finance processes and routines using the latest cloud tools.

Learning outcomes:

Learn how to apply prioritisation and objective setting techniques used by remote working tech companies to deliver results
How setting and aligning on priorities remotely can provide clarity on real-time business health and enable decision support
Understand the importance of empowerment and accountability in boosting productivity
Leading effective finance team processes – wherever the team is based

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom provides the same great learning experience as other ICAEW training, except one difference, you can learn from your desk.

Being delivered online makes it so much easier to access in a busy working week and would definitively recommend this type of training. The breakout rooms work really well to allow you to get to know the other participants and share experiences.

The focus is on the learner and creating an enriching classroom experience that connects participants globally. Using video, learners can converse and interact with the trainer and other learners in real-time. Whiteboards, break-out sessions, polls, screen-sharing, and interactive Q&A create an immersive learning experience.

I think the virtual training format using Zoom, and the survey features, and break out rooms, really works great. I had no problems engaging with the facilitator and felt he listened to what we said, and kept the pace of the content moving steadily.

Our public course programme is deliberately structured to encourage delegates from different organisations to participate. However, if you have six or more delegates who require development in the same area, we are able to run a more cost-effective and much wider range of courses tailored specifically to your organisation.

These are ideal for organisations seeking hassle-free, flexible and cost-effective training delivered to multiple delegates at your location of choice. Whether we use our existing materials or develop new content for your business, our expertise lies in translating your requirements into a pragmatic, interactive training programme highly relevant to your people and organisation.

"The team at ICAEW were excellent from the start. They took time to understand our strategic plan and growth aspirations and built a programme around this. We are starting to see the fruits of it already. One of the key factors in the programme's success is that each participant is given one-to-one coaching, enabling them to focus on their own development." Richard Baker, Partner, Crowe Clark Whitehill
