Business Acumen Public Workshop Business acumen excellence is required for all emerging leaders to succeed in the corporate world. Join us for a unique in-person learning experience. Business Acumen Public Workshop As an emerging leader, you’re expected to focus on the big picture of the business, cultivate relationships across the company, and contribute to the advancement of the firm’s goals. It’s not simply a matter of subject-area expertise but your ability to understand various dimensions of a business that are in play as situations arise. Your bosses also want you to analyze an ongoing stream of data, collaboratively solve problems, and make better business decisions. At the Business Acumen Institute, we believe that leadership and management capabilities can be fortified when people are taught how to think holistically about the business and how their actions impact bottom-line results.

Has your manager told you, “You need to think more strategically,” but never provided coaching on how? Are you watching brilliant team members solve problems efficiently but struggle to anticipate what’s coming next or connect their work to broader business impact? You’re not alone. More importantly, strategic thinking isn’t some mysterious talent people either have or don’t. Unlike traditional programs that focus on strategic planning frameworks, this workshop develops actual strategic thinking capabilities. These are the mental habits and mindsets that enable you to see what others miss, anticipate challenges before they become crises, and design solutions that create lasting value.
