Who was it for?
Companies and senior managers who are consumed by the passion to grow their businesses will find the programmes invaluable. It is for pragmatic people who recognise the need to build strong foundations for their companies even as they seize opportunities.

Participants in the workshop Competitive Business Strategies for Growth are likely to be forward thinking CEOs, directors, entrepreneurs and their direct reports.
