About the Programme
Everyone has an understanding of business -It's what they do every day. But understanding how it works
at the most basic level is not enough. You also need to understand your stakeholders' needs, priorities,
and what motivates them. Unfortunately, despite being viewed as a crucial partner, HR's influence is
limited by a lack of business acumen. Business acumen requires understanding the fundamentals of
business (market, customers, competition and so on) and how these apply to a specific situation.
Additionally, speaking the business language and analysing and interpreting reports and metrics for key
business functions are essential for any effective human resource professional. This programme is
designed to support HR leaders in developing the competitive business mindset and capabilities
essential to revenue growth, profitability, and customer retention.
