Iskra Consulting, a management consulting firm led by CEO Kim Hyang-su, announced on the 4th that it recently held a "Financial Perspective Management Strategy Decision-Making Experience Seminar for Developing Next-Generation Management Leaders."

The seminar, held on the 29th of last month at SparkPlus in Mapo-gu, was attended by HR managers from about 15 domestic and foreign companies. The program consisted of ▲establishing management policies through case studies ▲various simulated management scenarios (quarterly business issues, strategic options, negative events, etc.) ▲preparation of financial statements such as income statements and cash flow statements ▲feedback sessions. The company stated that the seminar received strong positive responses from participants because they could immediately see and receive feedback on how a single decision directly or indirectly affects key performance indicators (KPIs) on site.

The seminar was conducted by consultant Matsuno Mitsuyoshi, who developed the course upon request from Conferi Japan. He has extensive training experience targeting executive candidates of Japanese and overseas companies. The management strategy decision-making process was conducted in a game format. Participants were assigned roles such as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Chief Human Resources Officer (CHO), managing a virtual company for three years and reviewing its performance. As the fiscal years progressed, participants competitively compared management results by improving six KPIs, including sales growth rate and total asset turnover, while jointly analyzing factors of success and failure.

CEO Kim Hyang-su explained, "When conducting assessments for next-generation key talents or executive candidates, we find a lack of company-wide financial decision-making capabilities," adding, "To present the right business direction, developing financial acumen to comprehensively view the entire business is the top priority."
