Why is business acumen necessary?

Entrepreneurial thinking & acting: It´s the thinking and acting of each individual that makes or breaks a company´s business success. That´s why it´s crucial for every member to understand business acumen especially value flows, financial statements and KPIs in order to contribute actively to their company´s current and future strategic goals.
Profitable & sustainable business development: In the hectic pace of everyday business, often too little attention is paid to the issues of profitability and sustainable business development. However, these two areas are vital to every company in order to remain competitive – in short as well as long term. Skills for robust budget planning and cost controlling are core disciplines, unfortunately often overlooked.
Impact of decisions: On all hierarchy levels, employees and managers take daily decisions on multiple scopes. Therefore it´s crucial to have a holistic view on the own company and to understand, how every decision impacts the company’s cash – flow and/or profitability. The very relevant difference between “investments vs. expenses” must be in the DNA of each team member taking a financial decision.
