HR and talent development professionals play a unique role in any organization. To be truly effective partners they must be equipped with an understanding of business acumen.  When HR people understand the organization’s operations and functions, and combines this with customer and market perspectives, they can add tremendous value to the company.
Imagine being able to better understand the needs of a hiring manager. Or what if you were able to more effectively support the learning & development goals of the company? Or even more deeply understanding the composition of employees for deeper engagement?

To be a true partner and deliver a compelling value proposition to the organization, HR and talent professionals greatly benefit by being masters of business acumen.
