Building Business Acumen® Training

Business Acumen Training
Drives Business Growth

The brightest minds in business understand the essence of how a company makes money, and they use this knowledge to impact the bottom line. These people have been described as having business acumen. And smart companies recognize that a culture of business acumen will help them accomplish their financial goals.

Think about it, you can spend your training dollars on everything from communication skills to time management, and end up with great leaders that don’t understand whether their efforts are good, bad, or indifferent when it comes to your profitability. Business acumen training provides clarity and teaches employees how to leverage their leadership skills to strengthen a firm’s financial position.

So whether it’s negotiation training for your sales leaders or an internally developed program for your frontline managers, teaching business acumen puts all of your other training in the context of making money; that’s smart. And it’s why some of the most respected and profitable companies in the world have made business acumen training the foundation of their employee development programs.

The Challenge 

• What were your company’s sales during the last year?
• Are sales growing, declining, or flat?
• How profitable is your company?
• What is your company’s profit margin?
• What is your company’s cash position?
• How does your company compare to it’s competitors? 

If your employees don’t know the answers to these types of questions - they likely don’t know how to impact them.

The Solution

Picture the results you could achieve if everyone, from the new manager to the senior director, understood how they impact the 5 keys to profitable business growth:

• How do you generate and use cash, and why is it critical?
• How do you make profit meaningful to everyone?
• How do you get the most out of your assets?
• Why is growth so important and how do you impact it?
• How do you anticipate peoples’ needs?
