Why business acumen is mission-critical

Even the strongest strategies depend on leaders making the right calls in critical moments. Building business acumen, grounded in financial literacy, functional expertise, GM thinking, and an enterprise value mindset, is essential for leadership readiness, strategic alignment, and execution.

Breaking out of silos starts with how leaders think

Dan Parisi, EVP, shares how strategy modeling and simulations shift perspectives, align decisions, and enable leaders to operate at an enterprise level.

Because digital technology is intertwined in everything we do and will continue to become more intertwined in the future, digital literacy has become the new lingua franca that all business people must understand. To be a digitally literate leader doesn't mean you need to be able to write code; it means that you understand the implications of digital technologies for your current and future business at any moment in time. It means you can answer, "How might technology disrupt our competitive position?" And equally, "How might technology improve our performance and delight our users?"
