Introduction core team Treasurer Development

| 19-10-2017 | treasuryXL  | Treasurer Development |

Earlier we informed you about the Treasurer Development initiative. The members of the core team of Treasurer Development aim to contribute to raising the professional level of corporate treasury and increase acceptance and recognition of corporate treasury. Starting point for them is the treasurer as a person.

 

In the kick off meeting a core team was created; these are the members:

  • Janneke Nonkes, former group treasurer and coach
  • Robert Dekker, manager of the post graduate Register Treasurer program at the Free University in Amsterdam and treasury consultant at KPMG
  • Frans Boumans, responsible for the minor treasury management program at the University of Applied Sciences in Utrecht and former banker
  • Pieter de Kiewit, recruitment consultant and owner of Treasurer Search

All core team members work independently in this initiative. They do not represent each other or treasuryXL as a core team member. They aim to inspire, inform and deliver positive criticism. The opinions expressed by a member of the core team are attributed to that person and these opinions are independent and not necessarily shared and/or endorsed by all the other members. treasuryXL  is the communication platform for Treasurer Development. Blogs, discussions, round table meetings, curriculum build-up and adviser are all results that can and will be the result of Treasurer Development.

First initiative coming from Treasurer Development is a cooperation between Frans Boumans and treasuryXL. All of us will start blogging on related topics. Janneke and Pieter will develop a free of charge telephone quick scan in which treasurers can brainstorm about their career development. Robert will inform you shortly about curriculum developments in the Register Treasurer program. Both the Hogeschool Utrecht and the Vrije Universiteit will want to brainstorm with you about guest lecturing, internships and graduation projects.

So far, the first responses on this initiative are very positive. We are open for suggestions and look forward to informing you further.

Introduction of a new initiative: Treasurer Development

| 1-9-2017 | treasuryXL |

Already over a year treasuryXL facilitates information exchange about corporate treasury. Contributions are, amongst others, about the development of the treasurer as a person. Due to the improved economy we notice a rising interest in this topic. Education, competence development and labour market are the most obvious examples. This is why we start the Treasurer Development  initiative.

Treasury education

In treasury education we see a rising interest from universities (also of applied science) which results in young graduates with treasury expertise. Both courses with certifications, like RT, ACT or CTP, are discussed as well as compact, result oriented trainings. Especially quick knowledge about FX and risk is in demand. The number of on-line trainings is quickly rising.

The ambition of many treasurers to have a bigger business impact results in a higher demand for training and coaching. Skills you do not learn in class. Questions like “what communication style works with an average and my CFO” or “how do I convince colleagues in an operating company to change their working methods” deserve a tailor made approach.

The labour market is tilting, the number of vacancies is rising. The way employers and employees find each other has changed over the last decade. Social media have a huge impact. Candidates do not only think about the next step but also about their career as a whole and the place their job has in life.

Treasurer Development Initiative

From this perspective a small group of professionals with relevant expertise came together to start the Treasurer Development Initiative. Questions like “how can we raise the professional level of corporate treasury and increase its impact” and “how can we introduce treasury in places where it has an added value”  will be considered from the perspective of the professional.

In our next blog we will introduce the group and inform you about first plans. If you want to contribute, please let us know.
