The balance sheet is one of several financial reports that organizations use for monitoring and planning purposes. It is a snapshot of a company’s financials on a specific date. All balance sheets include three components: assets, liabilities, and owner’s (or shareholder’s) equity. The report shows the resources an organization owns (assets), how much money it owes (liabilities), and how much equity the owners (or shareholders) have after liabilities are subtracted from the assets. This is also called the net worth of the company. Some of the benefits of being able to read and understand a balance sheet include making better management decisions, identifying potential financial issues before they cause bigger problems, and improving your company’s organizational efficiency.

• Record the assets of a company    

• Define liabilities    

• Explain owner’s equity

The old saying, greater the risk, greater the rewards has probably rung true for many of us in different stages and areas of life. However, still most people tend to avoid risks when possible, because they think that inaction is often safer than action. The belief is that taking a risk is “exposing oneself to the possibility of loss or injury in the hopes of achieving a gain or reward.” But the legendary boxer Muhammed Ali stated “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” In this course, you will learn to mitigate risks and start taking calculated risks.

• Recognize the need for smart risk-taking and its 5 components

• Determine the strategies of smart risk-taking  

• List the types of risk-taking cultures

In today’s dynamic business environment, it has become of utmost importance for any organization to have a strategic plan in place. A strategic plan is a powerful instrument that helps a company commit to a future goal, motivate its organization through vision, clearly see its strengths and weaknesses, and move forward with a well-thought-out and measurable action plan. Thus, we can say that strategic planning sets direction, outlines measurable goals, and aids in changing approaches when moving forward. To develop an effective strategic plan, you must understand both where your business stands today and where it wants to be in the future.

• Define strategic planning and enlist elements of strategic planning      

• Explain the importance of an organizations mission and vision statements      

• Describe the core values and its unique value proposition

To better understand today’s digital age, it’s important to look back at the Industrial Revolution. As Steve Jobs said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backward.” Just as the steam engine and other machines transformed the 18th-century economy, digital technologies are changing our world economy, business practices, customer expectations, and societal norms—and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. And while it’s impossible to predict the exact changes that lie ahead, it’s possible to predict who will succeed: agile organizations who are able to quickly take advantage of new opportunities by applying digital technologies.

• Understand the parallels between the industrial revolution and the digital revolution

• Define Digital Transformation

• Understand how digital is changing the operation of businesses, affecting all business sectors, and is making organizations flatter

Consistent business analysis is critical to a company’s short- and long-term success. Because the SWOT framework is such a simple, flexible, and powerful tool, organizations can use it to examine, plan, and implement business decisions and plans that range from incremental to comprehensive. By gathering a range of input from inside and outside the organization, your analysis will provide substantial, relevant, and objective data to guide your decision-making. Whether you’re planning new corporate-wide strategic goals or reviewing departmental processes, a well-executed SWOT analysis will enable you to focus on your strengths, diminish threats, and take advantage of identified business and market opportunities as you move forward.

• Describe SWOT Analysis   

• Conduct a SWOT Analysis

Employees working in an organization bring a level of enthusiasm and energy to the work they do in the organization. They are committed and creative in their approach. This energy is crucial for any organizational success, and it is termed as emotional motivation. The factors influencing this energy level can be either intrinsic or extrinsic. In this lesson, you will learn about both intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation and how to leverage them. 

How do you motivate your team to do their best? You give them the tools, trust, and time to make their jobs personal. You provide enough challenge for them to work at facilitating better, but not so hard that they become discouraged. Help them connect with their work and give them a reason to work, which is beyond the paycheck. 

• Explain the challenges of using extrinsic motivation 

• Learn the three methods of intrinsic motivation: autonomy, mastery, and purpose

Defining your competitive edge, target market, and competition is just the first step to gaining more market share in your industry or niche. This is an ongoing process. You must continuously research, review, and revise these three factors in order to maintain your edge. Use your research alongside a competitive strategy to drive internal and external efforts through marketing, corporate culture, training, hiring, research, operations, customer service, messaging, leadership, and more. Defining and leveraging your unique competitive edge is the key to market success.

• Define your competitive edge    

• Define your target market and identify your competition    

• Practice the strategies for building your competitive edge

Leaders of successful sales organizations focus on strategic planning, intentional hiring, and effective coaching.
