for Learning Impact

If you’re relying on gut feeling to price your products and services – or you’re using a cost-plus formula, this programme could change your game. 

Prepare to roll up your sleeves and immerse yourself in creating a well-crafted pricing strategy that drives value for your organisation. In your three days on campus, you’ll create – or redefine – a value-based pricing strategy for your company, and you’ll leave with a concrete plan to implement in your business.

Detailed programme

Pricing is one of the main drivers of profit in any company – but it’s often one of the least understood. In this 3,5-day programme, you’ll immerse yourself in six modules – each designed to build your knowledge and help you put it into practice immediately.

You’ll live and learn pricing, translating conceptual frameworks into a plan to take back to your own organisation. You’ll gain insights from our expert faculty and business speakers. You’ll dive deep into case studies and cutting-edge approaches. And you’ll learn from your fellow participants too, gaining their perspectives and insights – and understanding the challenges they face in their sectors.

At the end of the programme, you’ll be ready to leap into pricing for your own organisation, with a plan and value-based strategy to price your offer effectively.

The programme gave me insights into value pricing that I could implement immediately. I’ve achieved the two objectives I had for this programme: a clear vision on pricing based on market data, and a clear set of rules and responsibilities – necessary steps in our plans to scale up the company.
