DMACC DBR Business Acumen Series The Business Acumen Series will provide individual contributors, managers and leaders meaningful understanding and application of the universal principles of business, finance, decision-making and success. More than a finance program, learners will see where costs are incurred and revenue is earned, and they’ll also learn how to deploy resources effectively toward organizational goals and objectives. The program emphasizes real-world application to decisions, decision-making and performance back on the job. Topics include: • The Five Factors of Business Success (Cash, Margin, Asset Utilization, Growth, People) • Price, Margin, Fixed Costs, Variable Costs, Volume and Profit Working Capital, Asset Efficiency, Capacity Utilization, Inventory/Value Chain Optimization Cash Position, Cash Flow • Capital Budgeting, Return on Investment, Time Value of Money, and Risk Budgets, Budgeting and Decision-Making Approach The seminar would be delivered mostly live online via Zoom, with 30-60 minutes of specific learner-centered or learner-initiated learning activities to be completed between sessions (individual or small group). The live online sessions will be engaging and interactive, using case examples, breakout room discussions, presentations, polling, whiteboarding, quiz games, decision simulations, and more. The highlight of the Series is a digital, real world business simulation where teams of learners apply their learning in a real-world marketplace. Program Schedule 1.
