Post-Call Group Discussions
Many agencies are organizing groups to listen to the calls (live or recorded) and discuss the topics among themselves after the calls. Some are summarizing their discussions and distributing them to managers throughout their organizations. Use the CSMFO Coaching Program as an effective way to enhance professional development in your agency. Here are some discussion starters for this session:
- Has the financial crisis changed the way we price our bonds and if so, how can we better understand that?
- What are the key determinants of the interest rates my agency pays to borrow money?
- What can I do to exert greater control over this process and produce better results?
- Are there opportunities to improve on our past performance in the credit markets?
- What tools would be most "user-friendly" for small and medium sized issuers of debt?
