At Acumen Learning, we believe that when you come right down to it, business is very simple. There are universal laws that successful business leaders understand and apply. They have what we call 'business acumen' - the ability to assess company performance, articulate their findings and accelerate initiatives that drive profitable and sustainable growth. Founded in 2002 by Kevin Cope and Stephen M.R. Covey, Acumen Learning is the recognized leader in client-specific business acumen training, and has taught its Five Business Driver Model to 30 Fortune 50 companies, as well as many other top companies around the globe. Whether it's an accounting manager who speaks the language of your numbers, or an IT professional that speaks the language of your systems, business acumen training helps every employee, regardless of their role or experience, to think more like a CEO, and speak the universal language of business. In short, employees will understand the framework of your company and the role they play in the money making process. Teaching business acumen puts all of your other training initiatives in the context of making money; that's smart. And it's why some of the most respected and profitable companies in the world have made Building Business Acumen® training the foundation of their employee development programs.
