Webinar Description

This webinar will focus on how to calculate, manage, and increase your business acumen as a Project Manager. Just as Meyers Briggs assesses someone's personality, now there is MBA IQ that assesses business acumen. An individual's MBA IQ is calculated based on knowledge of the following areas:

• General Management, Leadership, and Strategy
• Operations Management
• Marketing Management
• Quality and Process Management
• Human Resources Management
• Accounting & Finance
• Information Technology
• Corporate Control, Law, Ethics, and Governance
• Project Management
• Decision Sciences and Managerial Economics

Project managers can benefit from the MBA IQ process by equipping them with a common business vocabulary and the ability to communicate more effectively with management, MBA's, and counterparts in other departments. Specifically, this process helps you:

• Identify opportunities to further develop business acumen as a Project Manager
• Find opportunities for PDUs that match MBA IQ development plan
• Plan your professional development as a Project Manager

Come join the webinar to see how this can benefit you, your team, and your company!
