This breakout session dives into what it means for EAs to develop business acumen: the ability to grasp the “why” behind their work, connect daily activities to organizational goals, and contribute valuable insights that enhance leadership effectiveness. We will explore and discuss how to interpret key business priorities and recognize organizational trends.
The session will unpack real-world examples of how business-savvy EAs can keep a pulse on business operations, stay informed, and recognize how their work aligns with corporate goals. Attendees will share perspectives, exchange practical strategies, and walk away with actionable tools to strengthen their business acumen and awareness.
Learning Objectives + Interactive Elements:
- “Think Like an Executive” Scenario Discussion: Analyze a real-world situation (e.g., budget cuts, market shifts, or executive transitions) and identify how an EA with strong business acumen would respond or advise. Understand business acumen in the context of the EA role.
- Gather peer insights on the scenario sharing success strategies
- Create an Action Commitment Card to identify individual best practices to implement
