Overview

RA Management and Operations is a Master's Level Certification class designed to help experienced RA Professionals and RA Managers achieve a holistic perspective of the Revenue Assurance function. The course reviews industry standard KPIs, scope, and objectives for RA. It focuses on the techniques that successful departments use to increase their value to top management.

This program explains why more and more RA teams are positioning themselves as integral contributors to the strategic direction of the telco. It provides RA managers and team leaders with the disciplines and techniques for assuring margins, marketing, and new product deployment. Moreover, it helps students navigate internal politics and prove RA value so that high revenue operational managers, new product teams, marketing, and even the CFO will welcome revenue assurance assistance

In order to meet the needs of high-level telecoms managers, this training can be viewed as having three distinct sub-sections:

1. Understanding the Telco Money Machine (Days 1-2)- During these two days of training, we review the relationship between the telco business model, risk, and revenue assurance. Industry benchmarks suggest that RA involvement in margin, market, and new product assurance is taking the industry by storm, and we teach students the standards and methods needed for your RA team to perform such critical functions... learn more

2. The CFO's guide to Revenue Assurance and Governance (Day 3) -This one-day briefing is meant to help top level executives understand how to best utilize their RA team. You will learn how the RA team can bring increased confidence in margin calculations, and new product revenue projections . Additionally, RA Managers will review risk decisions and financial controls from the perspective of the CFO and controller. From this, we will provide you with a gradual process for the realignment of RA priorities to meet the need of top management... learn more

3. RA Managers's Guidebook (Day 3 and Days 4-5) -This course is designed to meet the myriad needs of Telcoms RA Managers and Team leaders. You will learn the industry standard controls, KPIs, and scope of RA teams. Beyond RA standards, we will cover the political issues often faced by RA teams, and we will teach you techniques to internally market your team and expand scope. At its core, the RA discipline can provide numerous benefits to high revenue operations managers, Internal Audit, Risk Management and Finance teams, and even Top management (CEOs/CFOs). We will teach you how to tactically provide this support through the RA function, and moreover how to prove that your team is invaluable. ... learn more

The five-day course, which encompasses all of the three sub-sections, will provide you with a thorough, comprehensive training in the most pressing aspects of RA management. However, we understand that RA professionals cannot always get away from the office for one or two weeks at a time, so the RA Management curriculum is divided into three subsections. Each subsection is available as an individual course, or all three can be taken together as the 5-day Master's Certification Program.
