Developing Business Acumen

BTS is the world leader in building Business Acumen

Business Acumen Definition

The ability to acquire and rigorously analyze industry, market and financial information, and apply the results of the analysis to the development of organization strategies and to making critical business decisions that accelerate business results.

Every day, managers make crucial decisions that directly affect the overall financial performance of the organization. They are challenged with ever increasing responsibility and accountability for financial, strategic and operational decisions. They must possess the confidence and business acumen to make decisions that build shareholder value and support the organization's overall strategy.

Executives must consider:

Do managers understand the big picture and the interrelatedness of their business decisions on the company’s value creation?
Does the workforce possess a deep understanding of key financial levers and the tradeoffs/ benefits of executing the company’s business strategy?
Do managers appreciate the impact of decisions on the customer experience?

BTS provides managers with fundamental business literacy to promote better decision-making and improved performance throughout the organization. BTS’s Business Acumen solutions blend consultant-led workshops, online learning and interactive business simulations to create the optimal learning environment for individuals and organizations.
