If this question resonates with you, you owe it to yourself and your organization to attend the Business Acumen Summit.

During the Summit, you will

• Explore causes of business model disruption
• Identify strategies to mitigate bias in problem solving & decision making
• Understand the multiplier effect of having an owner’s mindset
• Appreciate how understanding the big picture allows you to spot “red flags”

The Business Acumen Summit will help leaders deal with 3 core problems that occur when faced with an uncertain and ambiguous operating environment.

1. Acknowledge that traditional ways of thinking are no longer working

• How does your mindset need to shift?
  • What are the organisational assumptions and paradigm that are holding you back?
• Evaluate how “at risk” your business model is to disruption
• How encouraged are your people to challenge the status quo?

2. No matter what level you are at you need to appreciate the big picture

• Does your team know how what you do on a daily basis either creates or destroys value?
  • Is it simple & clear?
• Understand how the score is kept and what to measure
• Understanding your industry & its dynamics
• Break down “Silo” mentality
• Thinking like owners/take ownership

3. Leaders need to find new ways of engaging their teams in solving business problems

• The answer to your business problems lies in unlocking your teams insight
• Learn from mistakes not allocate blame & failure/fear
• Focus on solving the right problem
• Purposeful collaboration
