Building Business Acumen® Essentials Executive Overview
Teaching Your Company's Winning Strategy
Research from Harvard reveals that 95% of employees lack awareness or understanding of their company's financial strategy. This alarming gap is a problem worth fixing, and we're here to help. With a track record of successful business acumen development initiatives, and having partnered with 34 Fortune 50 companies, our expertise ensures trainers receive a tried-and-true solution that delivers tangible results.
Consistent
A train-the-trainer business acumen solution ensures consistent and standardized knowledge transfer across an organization. This consistency is vital for fostering a shared organizational language and understanding of business principles so no employee is underequipped to make the best business decisions.
Scalable and Cost-Effective
Implementing a train-the-trainer solution allows organizations to scale their business acumen training initiatives efficiently. Organizations can build an internal core of trainers who are well-versed in the company’s specific needs and culture. This approach is a cost-effective and sustainable model for ongoing training needs.
Actionable
To ensure workplace transference, participants create 2-3 action items that they track with a class accountability partner at the end of the class. And, the learning continues with follow-up sessions to review what was learned in class.
