- What you learned
- I learned about what business acumen is, where it is general and organization-specific knowledge about how things get done and why. It is a combination of technical expertise, knowledge of the business, and knowledge of the environment that your business is in. The webinar goes on to explain the business model of your organization with components of the customer (the people who are purchasing your products and services), value proposition (what you can provide your customers), financial (system for capturing value and turning excess value into profit and funding that can be reinvested into the business), and capabilities (resources combined across the organization to deliver customer-perceived value).
- How the activity relates to coursework or your career goals
- This relates to my career goals as it will help me build and develop the professional skills needed in the future as a leader and as someone within the business field.
