ISD: Learn the Language of Business

Several weeks ago I asked some in my network for a favorite Resource for helping those in ISD/LXD learn the “Language of Business” – and I was especially looking for a Finance perspective.

I think this hardback book does it nicely.

The book is available at Amazon here: amzn.to/34Hltp4

My network offered the following as well:
