Generalist trainings

A statement: The Mersen group is looking for new sustainable financial performance levers and expects its operational managers to understand and become more involved in this area.
The objectives of the training action are :
. identify operational levers to increase our level of Profitability, Return on Investment and Cash Flow
. ensure consistency in the decision-making process, thanks to key financial performance indicators and a common financial culture and practices across the Group
. training and information to develop a "value creation" culture.

This blended course was designed and set up for operational managers and presented as such to the members of the executive committee, who gave their definitive support to its implementation.

Pedagogical engineering and development :
. Knowledge validation and orientation quizzes
. Generic and specific e-learning modules
. 2-day face-to-face and distance learning workshop with gamification
. Post-training follow-up and assessment

Successful roll-out to 150 managers in 2020 and 2021 (over 30 nationalities).
Continuation of the action with a broader target of 1,500 managers.

"FinHarmony has been an exceptional partner for Finance Insight, the Group's flagship financial training course.
I wanted a very wide-ranging training course (from factory production orders to financial communication) that would speak to both operational and financial staff, and that would take into account Mersen's specific issues and challenges. I also wanted a fun course that would demystify finance while highlighting the challenges of financial performance. This was a difficult challenge, but one that was more than met, thanks to the Mersen-Finharmony team and an exceptional facilitator with an in-depth knowledge of the industry.
Feedback from the 150 executives/managers trained (over 30 nationalities) was excellent. We have therefore decided to extend this training beyond the initial target group".
