Improving Your Business Acumen in Category Management

Artboard 83-50

Business acumen requires an understanding of finance, strategy, and decision-making. Most managers and employees, however, are responsible for specific areas, and they have little understanding of the impact their decisions have on other areas. In this course, we walk through a big picture perspective to help learners improve their business acumen and, ultimately, increase alignment with their multi-functional teams and external customers.
