The business growth and development program

The BIG Journey™ is a business growth and development open program. It is for those business owners and leaders who would like to work “on” the business and not just “in” it with an ambitious peer group. By the end of the program you will have transitioned to a strategic leader and thinker, while developing a comprehensive and robust strategic plan for the future. We will dare you to become bigger, better and stronger. If this sounds your sort of challenge, then look no further.

The programme works with the constraints of everyday business priorities through a set of six highly practical two-day modules bound together by in-company coaching support.

You and your business will become the focus of the programme, and you will be driven to balance quick wins with the need for clarity in purpose and vision for future growth.

This participative programme is an investment in your future potential and a start of a new journey: it is not a prescriptive training package. Why not begin your journey with us today.

Who is it for?

The BIG Journey™ is for ambitious business owners, directors and others leading private, public or not-for-profit SMEs who have an inner desire to improve and grow themselves and their businesses.
