About the program

Do your employees know how they contribute to the business?

In today’s world of specialized education, employees often are not taught the basic elements of running a whole business. In addition, employees do not always understand how they contribute to the bottom line or how the business as a whole makes money. Imagine an organization where everyone understands what is required to run a business, where his or her job fits into the big picture, and how he or she contributes to the business.

What the CEO Wants You to Know: Building Business Acumen This hard-hitting workshop from Franklin Covey is based on the book What the CEO Wants You to Know by best-selling business author Ram Charan. Drawing on knowledge gained from years working with Fortune 100 CEOs, What the CEO Wants You to Know: Building Business Acumen will help all employees—no matter their experience or background—understand how their business operates.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand how your business operates.
  2. Learn the five essential elements of business.
  3. Attain an understanding of how the company makes money.
  4. Know how your work impacts the bottom line.

What the CEO Wants You to Know: Building Business Acumen will help everyone in an organization attain an understanding of how the organization makes money. This workshop is especially helpful for employees in roles that typically don’t deal with the financial aspects daily.

What will you learn?

Understanding the five essential elements of business helps employees align their efforts more closely with the organization’s overall business goals.

  • Cash: How it’s generated and why it’s critical.
  • Margin: The importance of making money and being profitable.
  • Velocity: The process through which you turn inventory or capital.
  • Growth: What creates growth and why.
