The Income|Outcome business acumen workshop gives your team a foundation in whole-business thinking. But business acumen isn’t a one-time event. That’s why every participant is enrolled in Continue the Learning—a post-workshop series of tools, prompts, and touchpoints that sustain momentum.
These aren’t just reminders. It’s a structured system to help people apply, explore, and extend what they’ve learned—without requiring more meetings, more travel, or more heavy lifting.

What Happens After the Workshop
What’s Included in Continue the Learning:

ROI Challenge™ Playbook
A practical next step—not a recap.
The Playbook invites each learner to identify a real initiative, estimate the impact, and—if it looks worthwhile—put it into motion. It's not about theory. It’s about applying the learning in ways that matter.
Participants get a clear framework to connect business thinking to business value. It builds financial confidence, sharpens decision-making, and brings results into focus.
For managers and sponsors, the Playbook provides a window into how learning is being applied—with the potential for real business impact.
In addition to the ROI Challenge Playbook, we have an ROI Calculator in our webtools.

Long-term Retention, Real-world Application
Continue the Learning is a key part of our Survey to Mastery model—reinforcing learning through repeated exposure, applied use, and reflection. It answers the question every L&D leader asks: "Now that the simulation is over, how do we apply the learning?"
One leader described it as “these post-game support materials are ways managers can leverage the training.”
Your team doesn't just leave the workshop smarter. They stay sharper longer.
