“I can see the impact of our business literacy process on a daily basis. Our employees are now thinking and acting like business partners. Because of the training programs, Maps, and reinforcement process, everyone feels a part of the success of the company and is working to improve the numbers every day.”

“Because of the programs developed by the Business Literacy Institute, our workforce now understands how we measure financial and operational success, sees how their jobs make an impact, and wants to get involved to improve the results. The initial skepticism is now moving toward trust.”

“BLI won the bid to create and deliver a customized executive finance course for our multinational corporation. This five-day course was built around our unique financial beliefs and practices and included a series of challenging, real-life business cases. This course came in on budget, on schedule, and was executed with great professionalism and enthusiasm. Their teaching approach is very down-to-earth, smart and real world. They have now delivered the course four times to all of the senior managers and other high-potential employees in our major business segments, and were able to customize the course each time to meet the unique needs of each segment. We will continue to drive this course down to the next management levels of our company. In fact, BLI helped us create a one-day version of this course, which we are delivering to every U.S. employee to help them understand the financial drivers of our company, as well as our strategies and corporate philosophy. BLI developed a ‘train-the-trainer’ program and we now have 20 employees who are certified to deliver this course to our employees. The reaction from the empoyees has been universally positive. A lot of training providers say they know how to partner with corporations, but BLI truly ‘gets it.’ They understand our investment of time, staff and budget must be utilized respectfully and effectively. They are a pleasure to work with in every regard.”

“The Business Literacy Institute developed one of our most successful training programs. They integrated our key measures, the basics of financial measurement, and the line of sight concept into a Money Map and training program. Now, there is an increased awareness about how our organization defines success, and individual employees have a better understanding about how they can contribute.”

“We were looking for a way to teach everyone (employees, managers, directors, etc.) about business and finance as well as to ensure each individual understood his or her impact on the success of our vaccines and the company as a whole. The Business Literacy Institute helped us develop training programs and Money Maps to meet our objectives. We’ve used the Maps over and over again in a variety of settings and always with success. And the Business Literacy Institute will be facilitating the training program ‘Finance for Non-Financial Employees’ for us on a regular basis. The Business Literacy Institute understood our needs and how to work with us effectively. Their level of professionalism and quality is top notch.”

“Everyone in payroll and accounts payable knew their job well, but didn’t yet have an understanding of how their work impacted the financial statements or the entire company. The Money Maps developed by the Business Literacy Institute clearly illustrated the entire process and the significant role we play in our financial results.”

Fernando Gonzalez, Director of Retail Operations, Santa Monica Seafood
“The business literacy program taught our employees the basics of business, and now everyone understands their impact on the bottom line and on our bonus program.”
