Description

COMPLEX TO SIMPLE Acumen Learning takes the complexities of business, how your company makes money, and leads you through to the simplicity of what key measures and metric are important, how to read them, how you impact them and helps you build a plan to impact your companies’ results. We answer the question, “What the CEO Wants You To Know? LEARNING OBJECTIVES Participants will: 1) Understand a basic business model that they can use to assess their company performance. 2) Make more money for the company by making better, faster decisions that impact top and bottom line. 3) Better understand company strategy and company financials to more effectively engage in discussions of this nature. 4) Become a better leader by more effectively communicating strategy, direction and results of the organization. 5) Align their performance objectives with the needs of the organization. WHY CLIENTS BRING OUR CONTENT INTO THEIR ORGANIZATIONS: We offer a key expansion from finance for non-financial managers to business acumen and develop better business thinkers, not just people knowing debits/credits. This guides attendees on decision-making tools, hone business thinking and decision making in their functions, not just financial statements and their puts and takes. Acumen Learning’s value-add is: 1. It is customized specifically to your business, measures, strategies, and then tightly aligned for applicability with each attendee’s function. 2. Applicable to many levels within the organization (can scale to more strategic with senior teams, more fundamental business with front-line attendees). 3. Engaging and highly interactive in nature…an energizing and packed day. 4. Helping everyone have a footing of business fundamentals, financial statements/measures, industry dynamics, and execution in their roles. 5. Build alignment to the corporate strategy and direction with what attendees do everyday – ability to execute in impacting the business strategy in their roles. 6. Managers communicating that strategy to build alignment and buy-in within the organizations they manage. 7. Developing people who own P&Ls but don’t understand the implications of decisions or which line-items are most critical given your business, industry, competitors, and strategy. 8. How to analyze any company’s trends/performance – whether it is competitors, customers, partners, or your business specifically. Thought: “The solution is teaching everyone how the company really makes money, so that all can see how their actions fit in with the big picture. Then they have a clearer sense of what they should be doing when the choices seem very complex.” -- Ram Charan
