►Business acumen involves the ability to effectively communicate with all functional areas in the organization. Even if a marketing manager has never studied finance, she knows how to speak the language of finance well enough to convey the logic behind her budgetary requests so finance people can understand them and hopefully approve them. Individuals with acumen are always looking ahead, trying to gain insight into what opportunities will be coming and what competitive threats are likely to emerge. Acumen means having the ability to devise strategies to remain one step ahead of competitors, a quality sometimes called vision.✴

►Business acumen also requires a thought process that ensures a focus on critical factors, an appreciation of the future consequences of actions taken today and the recognition that future activities require constant monitoring and adjustment when things don’t go according to plan. These three ideas are summarised by the terms mindfulness, sense-making and resilience.✴
