Business Acumen
A product is a business in a business. Therefore, everyone on a product team, regardless of function, should understand their role in the success of that product’s business. The lynchpin is business acumen.
What is business acumen? Business acumen is a portfolio of skills, behaviors, and capabilities needed to support an organization in the achievement of its financial and strategic goals.
Sequent’s sister company, the Business Acumen Institute provides training solutions to anyone who works on a product team, or for that matter, any other function in a company.
This online Business Acumen course can help these 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 online business acumen course, product managers and leaders will learn to:
- Think strategically
- Decide with data
- Act with agility
