BUILDING BUSINESS ACUMEN
What the CEO Wants You to Know™
THE CHALLENGE
Do employees know how they impact your bottom line?
Today’s modern employees are increasingly specialised to have the most impact, but with a focused skill set and educational background, they lose out on a deeper understanding of how organiSations operate as a whole.
This crucial business solution, based on the book What the CEO Wants You to Know by Ram Charan, draws on the knowledge gained from years of working with Fortune 100 CEOs, and instills C-level insights in your employees so they can align their efforts to your business goals and maximise your bottom line. When employees understand how their organisation operates, they can better align their efforts and decisions to benefit your bottom line.
"Step back and get a total picture of the business. As you cut through the complexity, you will get a clear fix on what is happening in the real world."
- RAM CHARAN
