Growth Strategy for Leaders

Why this course

Choose where your next growth will come from and turn it into a plan your leadership team can run, with targets and owners.

Growth stalls when a leadership team pulls in several directions at once. The teams that grow choose where growth will come from, say it in one page and give every part of the plan an owner. AI has made markets move faster, so the choice needs making more often.

A full day, hands on, with lunch included. You bring real work from your own job and leave with it running.

Sessions run in person at Salisbury House, 29 Finsbury Circus, London EC2M 7AQ or live on video, with small groups of senior people so every question gets answered.
