Training and Workshops for B2B Organisations
Practical in-house formats for finance, B2B marketing and better decisions
Mind your business designs and delivers training programmes, workshops and learning journeys for industrial, process-driven and internationally operating B2B organisations.
The formats are designed for managers, experts, talents and internal academies that want to strengthen management, finance, marketing or decision-making capabilities in a practical and business-relevant way.
The focus is on topics that create impact in everyday business: better business cases, clearer KPI understanding, stronger finance and business acumen, more effective B2B marketing, better decisions and a more conscious approach to thinking traps and unconscious biases.
When a training with Mind your business is a good fit
A training programme or workshop is particularly useful if your organisation is familiar with one or more of these situations:
- Management decisions should be prepared more thoroughly and implemented more effectively.
- Managers or experts need to work more confidently with figures, KPIs and business cases.
- B2B marketing, customer value or value propositions should be made more practical and business-relevant.
- Internal academies are looking for an experienced trainer with corporate, leadership and implementation experience.
- Teams should think more critically, more structurally and more consciously when making decisions.
Well-founded, practical and relevant for daily business
Training with Mind your business combines solid content with practical management and implementation experience.
Markus Eckhart has designed and delivered training programmes, workshops and academy formats in international companies for many years - including topics such as finance, business cases, B2B marketing, strategy execution, decision quality and de-biasing.
The goal is not to deliver standard slide decks. The goal is to create formats that fit the target group, the business model and the specific reality of the organisation. This helps build practically relevant capabilities, not just theoretical knowledge.
For larger or more complex requirements, Mind your business can involve selected professional partners from its network.
Key training areas
Training programmes and workshops by Mind your business combine professional depth with practical application. Depending on the target group, learning objective and organisational context, the content is adapted - from compact impulses to hands-on workshops and multi-module learning journeys.
The focus is on three areas that are particularly relevant for industrial and process-driven B2B organisations:
Finance & Business Steering
For managers, experts and talents who want to better understand financial connections and use them more confidently in everyday decision-making.
Possible topics:
- Finance for Non-Finance Managers
- Business cases and investment decisions
- KPI understanding and performance management
- Planning, forecasting and steering logic
- Finance as a business partner
We do not want to turn non-finance managers into controllers. The goal is to help participants prepare decisions more effectively, interpret figures more confidently and steer business processes with greater clarity.
B2B Marketing & Customer Value
For marketing, commercial or management teams that want to use B2B marketing in a more business-relevant, customer-focused and effective way.
Possible topics:
- Customer needs and value, value proposition and USP
- Marketing analysis and planning
- Buying centres and customer decision processes
- Pricing psychology and decision drivers
- Collaboration between marketing, sales and customer service
The focus is on how marketing contributes to better customer understanding, clearer positioning and more effective collaboration across commercial functions.
Decision Quality & de-diasing
For managers and teams that want to make decisions more consciously, more structurally and with less exposure to thinking errors and biases.
Possible topics:
- Higher decision quality in daily management
- Typical biases in organisations
- De-biasing Leadership
- Critical thinking and better problem solving
- More effective decision meetings
Decisions often fail not because of missing information, but because of unconscious patterns, group dynamics or routines. De-biasing helps make these influences visible and supports better decision preparation.
Experience that connects with everyday business
Training with Mind your business is based on more than 20 years of experience in international, industrial and process-driven B2B organisations. Markus Eckhart held leadership and management roles for many years and combines finance, strategy and marketing expertise with practical implementation experience.
This combination also shapes the training approach: content is not taught in an abstract way, but connected to real management situations, decision processes and business examples.
A strong focus is placed on transfer into daily work. Participants should not only learn new concepts, but better understand how to use figures, markets, business cases, decisions and the collaboration between key functions more effectively in their own context.

Mind your business stands for
- many years of corporate and leadership experiencem
- professional depth in finance, strategy and B2B marketing,

Possible formats
The content can be delivered as a short impulse, a compact workshop or a longer learning format.
- Keynote or impulse session:
Suitable for internal events, academy days, leadership events or as an entry point into a new topic. - Workshop:
Half-day, full-day or multi-part format. Suitable when participants should not only understand a topic, but apply it to their own situations. - In-house training:
A practical format for defined target groups, such as managers, talents, finance-related roles, commercial teams or cross-functional groups. - Learning journey:
A multi-module format over several weeks or months. Suitable for internal academies, leadership programmes or targeted capability building within a function. - Tailored programme:
If existing formats are not sufficient, a programme is developed to fit the target group, learning objective, organisation and available time.
How our collaboration starts
1. Clarify the starting point
We discuss the target group, the reason for the training, the learning objective and the organisational context.
2. Develop the format
Based on the need, we develop a suitable format - from an impulse session to a workshop or a learning journey.
3. Prepare implementation
We align content, examples, agenda and transfer elements with your organisation.
For the implementation, we typically clarify:
- Who should participate?
- Which capability should be developed?
- Which situations from daily work should be included?
- Which format fits the target group?
- How should transfer into practice be supported?
What participants say
Training and workshops create value when participants do not only find the content interesting, but recognise it in their own work and can apply it in practice.
We have successfully implemented various formats with these and other organisations:
With selected partners if needed
If a topic requires additional expertise or broader implementation capacity, Mind your business can involve selected experienced partners from its network.
This makes it possible to design training and workshop formats that are broader in expertise while still being tailored to the organisation.
Typical situations include:
- larger international training programmes
- interdisciplinary learning journeys
- combinations of business, leadership and de-biasing topics
Also available as a keynote or impulse session
Many topics are also suitable as a short entry point for internal events, leadership meetings or academy days.
Impulse sessions are particularly suitable for topics such as decision quality, de-biasing, business cases, finance and business understanding or B2B marketing.
Example topics:
- Better management decisions
- Finance for Non-Finance Managers
- Understanding business cases
- B2B marketing and customer value
- De-Biasing Leadership
