Acumen worked with BPI to strengthen the presentation and business storytelling capabilities of its senior leaders. Using real BPI cases, the workshop equipped participants with practical tools to create clearer, more persuasive, and action-oriented presentations.

The challenge

Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) engaged Acumen to conduct a Business Storytelling workshop for senior leaders, including Division Heads and Vice Presidents. While participants possessed deep business expertise and strong analytical skills, there was an opportunity to enhance how they translated insights into compelling, audience-focused stories that drive understanding, alignment, and action.

What we did

We develop a highly practical workshop on effective business presentations for BPI.

  1. Participants learned how to define clear objectives, understand target audiences, create executive summaries, and develop focused business narratives.
  2. Every concept was applied to actual BPI projects and presentations, ensuring that learning was immediately relevant and actionable.
  3. Through hands-on workshops, peer feedback, and facilitator coaching, participants refined their presentations and strengthened their ability to communicate recommendations with clarity and impact.

The impact

Participants improved their ability to translate complex analyses into clear, compelling stories tailored to their audiences. The result was more effective presentations that accelerated understanding, alignment, and decision-making across the organization.

In their words

[Key strengths include] Their subject matter experts invited to facilitate workshops and even the team behind the scenes are veterans of their field.
