Founded in 2002 by Kevin Cope and Stephen M.R. Covey, Acumen Learning is the recognized leader in business acumen training, having taught their Five Business Drivers model to 16 of the Fortune 50 and top companies from around the globe.
Teaching business acumen puts all of your other training initiatives in the context of making money; that's smart. And that's why some of the most respected and profitable companies in the world have made Building Business Acumen® training the foundation of their employee development programs. Acumen Learning believes that when you come right down to it, business is very simple. There are universal laws that successful business leaders understand and apply. They have what we call business acumen - the ability to assess company performance, articulate findings, and accelerate initiatives that drive profitable and sustainable growth. 

The Challenge:
Ninety percent of employees lack a basic understanding of important business measures. Those who do understand these financial concepts (C-level employees and the finance department) often struggle to communicate their knowledge with stakeholders and employees with clarity of purpose. This lack of understanding and clarity results in managers who struggle to align their strategy with corporate results, departments that are too insular, and organizations that scramble when it comes to turning increased complexity into financial advantage. Employees within these organizations lack the courage and conviction to explain what they need to do in clear, simple terms, and how their workgroup, team, or organization will improve the company’s money-making process. This leads to a feeling of isolation and uncertainty. The results are employees who shy away from making important business decisions, employees who make uninformed business decisions, or employees who slow down the decision making process in an effort to avoid making the wrong choice. 

The Solution:
A people strategy that stresses the importance of developing business acumen. So whether it's an accounting manager who speaks the language of your numbers, or an IT professional that speaks the language of your systems, business acumen training helps every employee, regardless of their role or experience, think more like a CEO, and speak the universal language of business. In short, employees will understand the framework of your company and the role they play in the money making process.

At New Directions, our Life Portfolio® perspective exposes your senior-level executives to a positive, self-reliant mindset about career transitions to maximize their opportunity for long-term work/life fulfillment.  We help organizations and their executives from across the U.S. in the following three ways:

We help organizations smooth the succession planning process.  Through our Life Portfolio Program® we work with executives before their anticipated departure or retirement from the organization.  When organizations plan for succession they often struggle with ways to help selected senior executives stay, re-deploy, or move on.  These same individuals are looking into “traditional retirement”, remaining quiet to avoid being viewed as lame ducks or having their positions usurped.  Still others are holding on for fear of losing their reputation, identity, and usefulness.  Productivity may slip and valuable experience and knowledge not passed on.  Our process has proven to reduce the anxiety and uncertainty of “what’s next”, increase productivity, and allow for more informed decisions and planful succession processes.

We help companies navigate the careers of senior executives who are transitioning out of the organization as a result of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or other change that impacts their position.  We are an alternative to traditional outplacement for your senior people.  We create a highly personalized partnership with each client and stay with them, and their families, until they are fully engaged . . . and beyond.

We work with senior executives who are at a career/life crossroads. We help them gain clarity about their shorter- and longer-term work/life goals.  They learn to articulate the decision-drivers and interests that will enable the organization and the executive to make informed decisions about whether the executive should stay engaged with the organization (either in the same job or redeployed to another role) or transition to another.

New Directions has been featured in The New York Times, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, The Globe and Mail, and Kiplinger’s Personal Finance.  In addition, a practical and inspiring book by our founder, Dave Corbett, can be found on amazon.com titled, Portfolio Life, The New Path to Work, Purpose, and Passion after 50.

WHO
Since 1968, The Levinson Institute’s widely acclaimed, Harvard-affiliated leadership seminars and professional services have been at the forefront of preparing over 50,000 executives and senior managers to lead.   Levinson-researched and faculty-authored books and articles on leadership and accountability continually challenge old assumptions and break new ground.

WHAT
The Institute—long renowned for its comprehensive approach to developing leaders—approaches organizational development with an equally in-depth knowledge of organizational structure, processes, and HR systems.   Combined with Sonario®, its scientifically tested, field-proven, software-supported approach to strategic alignment, the Institute’s Strategic Organization methodology is redefining the entire field by:

- Designing business organizations that streamline value streams and supply chains, improve ROI, and create a culture focused on value for customers,
- Mapping and developing high-potential pools of talent, and
- Implementing value-adding, accountable managerial and team-working leadership.

WHY
The Institute’s Strategic Organization methodology is the only WHOLE SYSTEMS APPROACH to leveraging the full potential of any organization.   A typical Levinson client organization increases and sustains its operating effectiveness and asset worth by several multiples within a few years.  Levinson clients typically develop succession plans that accurately address strategic talent requirements over two or more decades.

With Strategic Organization, you and your organization will have the leadership capacity to address new and future challenges through people development, employee engagement, accountability, trust, culture change, innovation, and risk management.    

HOW
