Course Introduction
Business acumen refers to the ability to understand how an organization creates value, makes money, and sustains performance, then use that understanding to make better decisions. Professionals with strong business acumen can connect daily actions to financial results, customer impact, and long-term organizational success.
Developed by Boost, this course focuses on decision judgment rather than strategy design or financial analysis. It is designed for mid- to advanced-level professionals who need to think beyond their functional roles and view decisions through a broader business lens. The program focuses on understanding business models, value drivers, trade-offs, and decision impact—without turning the course into a finance, accounting, or strategy class.
