Building your business acumen as a project manager

“

- Project managers have an incredibly important job. They help their teams keep promises. But in order to really understand those promises and why they matter, project managers need to understand how business works. In other words, they need to develop business acumen. My name is Daniel Stanton, and I've been both an executive and a project manager in large and small organizations. I've seen what a difference it makes, when a professional can combine strong project management skills, with an appreciation for the goals and objectives of their colleagues throughout the organization. Project managers with good business acumen, find that their teams are more productive, their clients are more satisfied, and their careers are more successful. In this course, I'll provide you with a quick but thorough overview of how businesses really work. We've got a lot to cover and I'm confident that you'll be able to use this information right away. So let's start building our business acumen.
