As with many professions, there’s more that goes into building a successful engineering career than just technical know-how; there’s also a business side of engineering. To reach senior positions and acquire responsibilities like managing teams, projects, and budgets, engineers need to have a robust set of business skills.

Enter the world of the Business Savvy Engineer. All Business Savvy means is speaking the ‘Language of Business’. It combines financial and business literacy, recognizing how strategies, behaviors, actions, and decisions affect the numbers and drive profitable and sustainable growth. With Business Savviness it enhances the professional and personal development,creating a competitive edge.

This webinar focuses on what Business Savvy means and what to do to become a Business Savvy Engineer.
