Master Activity-Based Budgeting for Real Business Impact
Our intensive program guides finance professionals through practical ABB implementation. You'll work with real company data and build frameworks you can apply immediately. Classes start September 2025 with limited enrollment.
Request Program DetailsWhy We Built This Program
Most finance training teaches theory. We started there too, back in 2019. What we discovered? Theory doesn't prepare you for messy data, resistant department heads, or systems that weren't designed for activity tracking.
So we rebuilt our curriculum around actual implementation challenges. Students work through case studies from Thai manufacturing, hospitality, and service companies. You'll see where ABB works brilliantly and where traditional methods still make more sense.
Our graduates report spending 40% less time on budget revisions because they understand cost drivers from the start. That's the practical difference solid training makes.
What You'll Actually Learn
Six modules over eight months. Each builds on work you complete with your own organization's data. We cover both the technical frameworks and the people challenges.
Cost Driver Analysis
Identify activities that actually drive costs in your operations. We'll teach you when to drill deeper and when aggregation makes sense.
Resource Mapping
Connect resources to activities with practical allocation methods. You'll handle shared services, overhead distribution, and capacity constraints.
System Integration
Most companies use existing ERP systems. Learn how to extract and structure data without expensive custom software.
Variance Analysis
Build meaningful variance reports that highlight operational issues rather than just accounting differences.
Stakeholder Management
Finance doesn't operate in isolation. Practice presenting ABB insights to operations teams who think differently about costs.
Continuous Improvement
Design review cycles that keep your ABB model relevant as business operations evolve and change.
Learn From People Who've Done This Work
Our instructors spent years implementing ABB in various industries before they started teaching. They've made the mistakes so you don't have to, and they'll share what actually worked in real environments.
Narong Thepsiri
Manufacturing Systems Specialist
Narong implemented ABB across three automotive suppliers between 2017 and 2023. He specializes in high-volume production environments where small efficiency gains create significant savings.
Kasem Wongchai
Service Industry Finance
Kasem worked with hospitality and healthcare clients where activities vary dramatically by season and patient needs. His practical approach to flexible budgeting helps students handle uncertainty.
Prawit Saelim
Change Management
Prawit handles the human side of budget transformation. He teaches stakeholder engagement techniques that get department managers invested in activity-based approaches.
How The Program Works
We meet twice monthly for hands-on sessions. Between meetings, you'll complete assignments using your company's actual budget data. Most students spend 6-8 hours per week on coursework.
You'll need access to cost data from your organization. If that's not possible, we provide sanitized datasets from real companies.
