What is business acumen? - Further Your Business Acumen

I actually think business acumen is a lot more of a process than it is an event. The learning initiatives are great events, but this skill is a process. If you don't practice it regularly, if you don't do it as part of your career, you'll lose everything you learned either in a session or what you learned in college. In building your business acumen, a couple things that I would recommend that you do on a regular basis around a regular cadence is (if your company is public), listen to your executives in their earnings call. At a very minimum the prepared remarks. I prefer the prepared remarks because that's the messaging that the executives prepared to give to the market that outlines their strategic focus, their goals and objectives, and as a leader in the organization I think it's paramount that you understand that. So I think it’s an important skill to build, but it requires some work on the learner’s part to continue that development for them, and then to pay it forward and to help build that capability in their teams. And great things happen. We’ve seen great things happen inside of organizations when teams, leaders in organization are able to connect to some of the abstract concepts their companies are trying to accomplish.
