# Cyber Learning Week

## Special #1: Business Acumen

## Overview 

Financial literacy, understanding the metrics of business performance, strategic mindset, and how companies make money are the foundational competencies of Business Acumen that all employees should have to help your organization achieve your goals and objectives.

Employees at every level and function face critical short- and long-term decisions in areas where they may lack capabilities, experience, and knowledge to make the best decisions.

Advantexe, in partnership with Paradigm Learning, is thrilled to offer Cyber Learning Week Special #1: Zodiak Pro®, a digital business simulation learning journey.

**How it works!**

The Zodiak Pro learning journey is a 4-hour virtual learning experience that introduces learners to new business and financial acumen topics.  At the heart of the program is a cloud-based digital business simulation, Zodiak Pro. In much the same way a pilot hones skills in a flight simulator, the business simulation helps your employees build skills by running the daily operations of a fictitious business.

**About the Simulation**

In the simulation, learners take over as CEO of Zodiak, Inc. (ZIG). Learners make day-to-day operational business decisions to help Zodiak achieve its business goals and grow shareholder value. 

The simulation illustrates the process of how money flows into and out of a business. Learners better understand how they affect the business by understanding financial statements, business metrics that matter, and other big data points that can help drive the success of the business.
