Sofia Correia de Barros, Executive Committee Member, at Pestana Hotel Group gave an insightful session on the role and responsibilities of a career in planning and controlling.

 

Students were able to understand how planning and controlling are fundamental in any business to ensure that budgeting, forecasting and analytical processes effectively support an organization’s financial health and business strategy. By analysing business trends and past results, the job holder advises on how company performance can be improved and explores potential growth scenarios, whilst managing proper internal financial controls and risk. Students learned about the key skills to succeed in this job and to deal with major challenges, mainly in these particularly uncertain and complex times, and at the same time, explored the mid to long term career path possibilities.

 

Career In is an initiative by The Career Management Center of The Lisbon MBA Católica|Nova where Executives with different professional backgrounds deep dive into different roles, allowing students to learn more about different fields of expertise and help students get more information to decide on your Career Path.
