Glenbrook regularly hosts Payments Workshops on topics of interest to our clients and our Payments Boot Camp alumni. Join us at one of our next scheduled events!

This intensive two-day workshop explores the world of business to business payments, where today three quarters of all supplier payments are still made by check, despite multiple alternatives available.

Understanding the “why” of this demands an appreciation of the Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable environment in the enterprise, the politics and realities of big enterprise/small enterprise interaction, and the dominating influence of the value of money, expressed in the timing of payments, the management of discounts, and the use of financing and investment options.

During the course of this two day workshop, we will explain the environment, discuss how payments are being made currently, and evaluate the many ACH, wire, and card based alternatives to checks now in use or being developed.

Who Should Take This Course?

• Enterprise Treasury, Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable managers who need to understand the impact of emerging B2B payments developments
• Product and sales managers from payments processors and service providers who need to understand how developments in other payments systems impact their offerings, or who have responsibility for developing and selling products and services into the financial services industry
• Technology and service executives who are building products that leverage payment systems
• Investors, inventors and analysts who want to improve their knowledge base on existing and emerging payments systems
• Management teams from payments start-up companies who want to gain insight into what has been successful - and what hasn't - as our industry has evolved

Our workshop is just the way you'd want it—very intense. You'll be taught by two Glenbrook team members - seasoned veterans of the industry who have "been there, done that" in senior operating roles in the payments industry. Classes range in size from 30 to 45 and are structured to ensure there is plenty of time for interactive Q&A - both during the sessions and during breaks.

You'll leave with an understanding of the "big picture" of payments and new insights into the key drivers and most important trends affecting the industry. You'll also receive a binder with a copy of all of our boot camp presentations—a valuable reference resource.
