Using Return-On-Investment Analysis as a Tool for Strategic Decision Making: Assessing & Planning for Technology & Capital Projects -
An OPEN MINDS Seminar

REGISTER TODAY! VIEW AGENDA

Description:

We have a limited budget - how do I decide how much to spend on technology investments, improvements to our properties, and other capital projects? Learn how to use return-on-investment analysis models to answer these questions, and more, at this information-packed seminar. The only workshop of its kind in the field, this intense seminar gives you not only a strategic framework for technology acquisition, but also hands-on analytical tools. This is a "crash course" in traditional return on investment (ROI) methodologies, net present value, intangible value, and payback periods, which can be immediately applied to either a technology or capital acquisition.

Contact Hours: 6.0
