Master Cost Management Through Real Experience
Join our comprehensive program starting September 2025. Learn practical cost control strategies from industry professionals who've managed budgets across diverse Vietnamese markets.
Why This Program Works
We built this program after working with over 200 Vietnamese businesses. Small manufacturers struggling with material costs. Service companies losing money on hidden expenses. Retailers watching profits disappear into operational bloat.
The pattern was always the same. Smart business owners making decisions without clear cost visibility. Our approach changed that.
You'll work with real company data from our case studies. Practice on actual cost scenarios our consultants solved last year. No theoretical exercises or made-up numbers.
What You'll Actually Learn
Four focused modules. Each one solves specific problems we see every day in Vietnamese businesses.
Cost Discovery & Classification
Most businesses track obvious costs but miss the hidden ones. We'll show you how a textile company in Ho Chi Minh City found 400 million VND in overlooked expenses. You'll learn the systematic approach they used.
Activity-Based Analysis
Traditional accounting shows what you spent. Activity-based costing shows why you spent it. We'll walk through three Vietnamese companies that completely changed their pricing after understanding their true activity costs. One increased margins by 23% without raising prices.
Variance Control Systems
When actual costs differ from planned costs, you need to know fast. And you need to know exactly where to look. We'll teach you the early warning systems that helped a Mekong Delta food processor avoid a quarterly loss during the 2024 supply chain disruptions.
Strategic Cost Decisions
Should you outsource logistics? Invest in automation? Expand to new markets? These decisions shape your cost structure for years. Learn the evaluation framework our consultants use to guide million-dollar decisions.
Your Instructors
These aren't academic lecturers. They're working consultants who solve cost problems full-time. Between them, they've analyzed over 500 Vietnamese businesses in the past three years.
Kai Lindberg
Senior Cost Management Consultant
Spent eight years helping Vietnamese manufacturers reduce costs without cutting quality. His systematic approach saved a Binh Duong electronics company 2.8 billion VND in 2024 alone. Specializes in production cost optimization and supplier analysis.
Elena Popović
Financial Operations Specialist
Former CFO at two Ho Chi Minh City service companies. Now helps businesses understand their true operational costs. Her variance tracking system caught a 400 million VND monthly overrun at a logistics company before it became critical.
Marcus Thornfield
Strategic Cost Analyst
Guides major cost decisions for growing Vietnamese businesses. His evaluation framework helped a Hanoi restaurant chain decide whether to centralize food preparation. The decision improved their margins by 18% across 12 locations.
Svetlana Novák
Cost Systems Designer
Creates cost tracking systems that actually get used. Her dashboard designs help managers spot problems before they grow. A Da Nang construction company credits her system with preventing three major cost overruns in 2024.
12-Week Journey
Starting September 8, 2025. Each phase builds practical skills you'll use immediately in your work. Classes meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings, plus one Saturday workshop monthly.
Weeks 1-3
Start with cost discovery in your own organization. You'll map your current cost structure and identify gaps in your tracking. Most participants find 10-15% of costs they weren't properly monitoring.
Weeks 4-7
Deep dive into activity-based costing using real Vietnamese company examples. You'll analyze case studies and practice the techniques on provided datasets. This is where most participants have their biggest insights.
Weeks 8-10
Build variance control systems that work in Vietnamese business environments. Learn to create alerts that catch problems early without overwhelming managers with noise. Design your own monitoring dashboard.
Weeks 11-12
Apply everything to a capstone project using data from your workplace or our extensive case library. Present your analysis to the group and get feedback from instructors who've seen hundreds of similar situations.
