How does a Measurement-Managed Organization™ use Business Acumen and Development?

In Measurement-Managed Organizations, traditional training and development is replaced by a highly focused, targeted, and strategy-linked business acumen and development program:

Strategy-Aligned Business Acumen and Development Traditional Training and Development
  • Framework for strategy-aligned decision-making
  • Tools and techniques for initiative prioritization
  • Understanding how day to day work impacts the bottom line
  • Integrates training and development with other HR systems
  • Vertical integration with strategy and measures
  • Horizontal integration with other HR systems

Leveraging financial acumen

Every employee is a decision maker. But most employees -- even many with senior management responsibilities -- are unaware of the financial implications of the choices they make. Financial awareness, never mind acumen, is surprisingly low in even the most sophisticated organizations.

The Financial Acumen workshop series is tailored to the specific needs and financial profile of an organization, and is designed to:

  • Rapidly improve cash flow by hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars
  • Ensure widespread ownership of business objectives, eliminating the entitlement mentality
  • Identify the most critical financial and operational results
  • Provide basic knowledge of the organization's business and finances
  • Deepen employees' understanding of how their jobs link to overall business objectives and how they can help to achieve them
