This Business Acumen Public Workshop is designed to help emerging leaders by demonstrating how to think about the multi-dimensional aspects that make up business acumen as shown in the Business Acumen Canvas, and as articulated in The Business Acumen Handbook.  The workshop’s comprehensive skill-building exercises reinforce key concepts by offering the opportunity to practice and apply.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

1. Viewing elements of business on a granular level, and then from a systemic, holistic standpoint.
2. Utilizing the Business Acumen Canvas to portray every aspect of business acumen.
3. Learning how to assume a “market first” strategic perspective in decision-making
4. Adopting a critical-thinking mindset to identify and collaboratively solve problems
5. Understanding how the company’s products contribute to its competitive advantage
6. Leveraging storytelling to garner support and paint portraits of the future
7. Cultivating a ‘business owner’ mindset
8. Eligibility for the business acumen certification exam. 

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.
