Working capital is one of the most important indicators of an organization’s financial health and operational efficiency. Many organizations generate revenue yet struggle with liquidity because cash is delayed in receivables, locked in inventory, or misaligned with payment obligations. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of how working capital optimization improves cash flow without damaging business relationships or operational performance. Participants explore the full cash conversion cycle and learn how decisions in sales, procurement, supply chain, and finance affect available cash. The program also highlights the importance of data-driven forecasting, disciplined governance, and performance monitoring. Modern organizations need practical tools to respond to market volatility, inflationary pressure, supply disruption, and changing customer behavior.
