Amsterdam
do 12 nov. 2026
Managers, especially those working in the finance sector, are bombarded by macroeconomics and financial news from around the world. Since almost all decisions in this increasingly interconnected world depend on both macro and foreign developments, it is important for managers to understand how to integrate this information into a coherent framework.
In the Understanding Global Macroeconomics program, the participants will be introduced to various aspects of macroeconomics and will get acquainted with the main concepts and policy debates: from economic growth to monetary policy. From inequality to productivity growth and from geopolitics to debt sustainability. We will look into some theoretical foundations of the macro economy: economic growth, institutions, fiscal policy, as well as monetary policy. The international economy, exchange rates, trade policy and optimal currency areas will equally be examined. During the two days you will apply the different insights and methodologies to real-life examples. Recent articles on policy debates will be discussed in plenary: these can range from inflation to protectionism, the impact of AI on monetary policy or the relationship between climate policy and financial stability. During these discussions you will apply the various insights, methodologies and theories to the recent topics that are discussed.

Amsterdam
ma 15 jun. 2026
en 1 andere data
The Project Finance and PPPs program focuses on structuring, financing and valuing large capital projects and emphasizes Public Private Partnerships (PPP). Funding large capital expenditure projects delivers high returns but is inherently risky. In the aftermath of the great financial crisis, project failures have generated billions of dollars of losses for the equity sponsors and the creditors. The program provides a framework and methodology to look at project financing as a viable financing option from both the debt and equity perspective. Using case studies, that cover both social and economic infrastructure projects, the program illustrates how and why major infrastructure projects succeed or fail.
How you will benefit
Understand when to use project finance and how it differs from other corporate finance techniques
Identify the key financing sources: bank loans, multilateral funding and bond issue
Structure the financing with a wide variety of financial and industrial participants
Understand BOTs and Public Private Partnerships (PPPs)

Program delivery
The program will be a mixture of lectures, case studies, and practical exercises. Case studies and practical exercises will allow program participants to develop the required skills, and to apply them to specific business situations. Practical examples will allow program participants to better understand drivers of successful PF and PPP investments, and identify risk factors that may jeopardize desired outcomes.

Advanced Financial Statement Analysis: Take a closer look
Amsterdam
ma 7 dec. 2026
Are you interested in building deeper skills in analyzing accounting information and using that information to make smart financial decisions? Do you need to understand a company’s profitability? Are you interested in a firm’s growth in revenues and earnings, and how that growth drives share prices? Are you concerned with a firm’s risk? Do you want to be able to rigorously evaluate a firm’s financial statements, evaluate “accounting quality” and adjust the statements if you suspect earnings management? Will it be helpful for you to forecast and model a firm’s future earnings and cash flows, and then use those expectations to estimate share value?
These are questions of fundamental importance for professionals involved in equity investments, lending and credit risk assessments, mergers and acquisitions, corporate strategy and governance, consulting, and financial regulation. Companies’ reported financial statements provide a wealth of information to understand profitability, growth, risk, and value. But to unlock that wealth of information, you have to know where to look and how to analyze the numbers. The Advanced Financial Statement Analysis program will provide you with an analytical framework and practical tools to analyze and exploit information in corporate financial statements.
Financial reporting under IFRS and U.S. GAAP provides corporate managers with wide latitude in how they measure and report financial performance and position. Managers can use this latitude to inform or to mislead stakeholders. Past financial reporting scandals (e.g. Enron) reveal that managers who engage in earnings management or fraud can do enormous damage. Therefore, this program will also increase your ability to assess accounting quality, and detect and undo earnings management.
How you will benefit
Analyze and use the information that firms report in balance sheets, income statements, statements of cash flows, and related notes
Understand the types of accounting choices and estimates under IFRS and US GAAP that managers make in terms of their business strategy, constraints, and especially incentives
Evaluate firms’ accounting quality, and test for the likelihood of fraud
Know how to restate firms’ reported financial statements to undo earnings management, when needed
Develop a better understanding of the types of red-flags to watch out for by analyzing the current financial statements of a company, with real-life case studies of several high-profile organizations
Gain a powerful toolkit you can use to analyze financial statement data to assess firms’ profitability, risk, growth, and cash flows
Develop a comprehensive set of methods and mechanics for forecasting firms’ future business activities, and measuring the expected effects of those activities with projected future balance sheets, income statements, and cash flows.
Understand and apply various valuation approaches, including residual income valuation, discounted free cash flows, and market-based valuation multiples.

Omgaan met media
Als je niet gestoken wilt worden door een persmuskiet
Training omgaan met media
Een training waarin geleerd wordt op welke wijze om te gaan met journalisten en de verschillende media, zowel de traditionele als social media.
PR en publiciteit zijn onmisbaar. Bedrijven en organisaties verzinnen heel wat om hun product of dienst onder de aandacht te brengen. En tegenwoordig zijn er naast traditionele wegen als een advertentie ook social media om je boodschap voor het voetlicht te brengen. Dat heb je in eigen hand.
Maar hoe krijg je nou journalisten zover dat ze over je berichten? Waar gaat hun media-hart sneller van kloppen? En als die journalist, cameraploeg of vlogger over de vloer komt, wat zijn dan de do’s en dont’s?
In de training ‘omgaan met media’ krijgen deelnemers een kijkje in de keuken van de journalistiek. We werpen een blik op het medialandschap in het algemeen en op werkwijzen van redacties en journalisten in het bijzonder. Daarbij wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen de verschillende media. Daarnaast kunnen we allemaal beschikken over onze eigen social media en zijn er ook mogelijkheden om deze zelf in te zetten om het publiek te bereiken.
Doel van de training ‘omgaan met media’ Na afloop van de training (titel invullen) ben je in staat om in te schatten hoe je media het beste kunt bereiken en hoe mediacontacten tot een zo goed mogelijk resultaat kunnen leiden.
Bovendien weet je welke wetten er gelden voor de belangrijkste social media om ook via deze kanalen het maximale effect op communicatiegebied eruit te halen.
Voor wie is de training ‘omgaan met media’ De deelnemers kunnen al werken op een communicatie-afdeling, functies kunnen variëren van de receptioniste die de eerste telefoontjes krijgt tot aan de directeur die het beleid uitzet en mogelijk ook nog zelf een interview geeft.
Deelnemers kunnen ook uit verschillende werkvelden of organisaties komen, zolang zij een vergelijkebare functie hebben.
Er wordt bij voorkeur gewerkt in groepen van minimaal 4 en maximaal 8 personen. Individuele trajecten zijn ook mogelijk.
Werkwijze
In een training van Bekensteyn Training & Coaching bepaalt de opdrachtgever in overleg met onze professional welke vaardigheden in de training worden behandeld. Bij het ontwerpen van de training wordt rekening gehouden met de dagelijkse praktijk; de context waarbinnen een afdeling of de organisatie acteert.
Bij Bekensteyn staat de meetbaarheid van resultaten hoog in het vaandel. Daarom is het – na afloop van een training of traject – mogelijk onderzoek te doen naar uiteindelijke resultaatgerichtheid middels een follow-up.
Duur
De training is maatwerk, dus de duur is afhankelijk van de vraag. Meestal gaan we bij deze training uit van een tijdsduur van 1 hele dag.
Trainers
De trainers van Bekensteyn Training & Coaching zijn allen gekwalificeerd en hebben als trainer/coach inmiddels een ruime ervaring opgebouwd op het gebied van gedrag, communicatie en persoonlijke effectiviteit. In de trainingen bieden zij een evenwichtige mix van theorie en praktijk aan. Daarnaast zijn zij als coach in staat het beste uit mensen naar boven te halen.
Locatie
Een training van Bekensteyn kan in-company of op een externe trainingslocatie worden uitgevoerd.
Ook is het mogelijk de training in onze eigen trainingsruimte te laten plaatsvinden, in het pand van Bekensteyn aan de Dorpstraat in Veldhoven.

Mergers and Acquisitions: Cross-disciplinary program providing practical tools across the whole M&A process
Amsterdam
ma 2 nov. 2026
In an era of digital transformation, disruptive innovation, transient competitive advantage, and industry convergence, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become more complex than ever. To help understand these complexities, this cross-disciplinary program provides practical knowledge and tools across the full-spectrum of the M&A process, from pre-deal strategy, due diligence, valuation, negotiation, regulation, and completion to post-deal integration, accelerated value capture, workforce motivation (culture, communications and key talent retention and engagement), and results measurement. Case examples illustrate how each stage of the process is implemented by companies across various industries and geographies. Pragmatic tools and templates are provided throughout the program, including an “M&A Workbook” covering the three phases of M&A – Pre-Deal, Deal, Post-Deal.
How you will benefitMost deals today are strategic with targets in the same industry. In order to maximize the long-term value of deals, there is a mandate to perform M&As well, across the entire process: having complementary products, and serving similar customers; setting a clear M&A strategy; targeting firms that fit the strategy; conducting due diligence to assess the value, as well as the operational and cultural “fit” of potential target firms; negotiating and closing the transaction; integrating the people, processes, and systems based on the deal rationale; evaluating success.
This program is designed to provide you with insights across the entire deal process to:
Understand M&A motives, strategy, regulation, valuation, tactics, deal-making, stakeholder engagement, integration, and success measurement
Identify M&A differences between geographies and ownership structures around the world
Evaluate the success and failure of M&As
Understand both the “buy- and sell-side” of M&A
Identify the difference in approaches and goals of corporate / “strategic” buyers and “financial” buyers
Establish what creates M&A success

What's new in C++11 and C++14
Volg de What's new in C++11 and C++14 van Vijfhart en leer de belangrijkste wijzigingen in de C++ standaarden en ondersteuning voor threads en bibliotheken.
In twee dagen worden de belangrijkste wijzigingen en toevoegingen behandeld. Een belangrijk deel hiervan zit in de taal zelf, waardoor het mogelijk wordt om interessante bibliotheken toe te voegen, zowel binnen de standaard zelf als daarbuiten. Ook nieuw is de ondersteuning van threads. C++ basiskennis komt in deze cursus niet aan de orde.
In september 2011 is C++11 gepubliceerd, in december 2014 gevolgd door C++14: de nieuwste standaard voor de C++ programmeertaal. Compilers met de ondersteuning voor deze C++11 zijn inmiddels in ruime mate beschikbaar. In een tweedaagse "master class" behandelen wij de wijzigingen en uitbreidingen die deze nieuwe standaard voor de taal heeft gebracht.
De nieuwe standaarden C++11 en C++14
De C++ standaard kwam tot stand in 1998 en heeft sindsdien een aantal kleinere, tussentijdse, aanpassingen gezien. In Augustus 2011 is een nieuwe versie van de standaard gepubliceerd. Hierin wordt ondermeer ondersteuning geboden voor een betere vorm van resource beheer.
Door de toevoeging van nieuwe pointer types biedt C++ nu een goed alternatief voor het gebruik van "managed" talen zoals Java, C/, etc.
In twee dagen worden de belangrijkste wijzigingen en toevoegingen behandeld. Een belangrijk deel hiervan zit in de taal zelf, waardoor het mogelijk wordt om interessante bibliotheken toe te voegen, zowel binnen de standaard zelf als daarbuiten. Ook nieuw is de ondersteuning van threads.
