WHY DON'T WE TEACH A GENERIC COURSE?

WHY WE WOULDN'T DARE TEACH A GENERIC COURSE?

​

You don’t need a generic business 101 course – most of your employees already took that class in college. And yet, that's typically what you'll get from an outside business acumen training provider. We're far from typical.

​

We've been best described as a management consulting company, but our end product isn't operational recommendations – it's a customized business acumen training course. In other words, we're not telling your people what to do, we're teaching them how to make a difference. And study after study suggests that employees who understand how their company makes money and who know how they personally contribute to that money-making process are more engaged, more efficient, and more effective. And that's what developing good business acumen is all about. 

​

To pull this off, and to really see a return on your investment, business acumen training has to be customized to the strategy and metrics that are important to your CEO and to a participant’s specific role and responsibilities. And, it should come as no surprise, what’s important to your CEO today may not be as important to her tomorrow. So teaching yesterday’s high-priced simulation or using a stagnant board game isn’t a long-term solution. Neither is a boring lecture from some professor or a lengthy presentation from your finance team.

​

What does work is our blended approach of Socratic discussion, intuitive models, and hands-on activities that make business and finance training interesting, relevant, immediately actionable, and dare we say, fun.
