What is business acumen?

Business acumen (“Business savvy” and “business sense” are often used as synonyms) is keenness and quickness in understanding and dealing with a “business situation” (risks and opportunities) in a manner that is likely to lead to a good outcome.

Why is this online Business Acumen training course essential?

Practical business acumen skills are essential to businesses/organisations. Through both formal and informal processes, it helps them align their employees, resources, and systems to meet their strategic objectives. It works as a dashboard too, providing an early warning of potential problems and allowing managers to know when they must make adjustments to keep a business on track.

Managers at all levels need a high level of business acumen to do their jobs. Every day they make decisions, many involving large sums of money. Managers who make these decisions with a limited understanding of how they will affect financial results or organisational goals can ultimately damage the company.
