About Programme

Business and revenue growth are imperative for today's business leaders, but unlocking growth can be complicated. Without a clear, practical plan, growth can elude even the most experienced leaders. In his book Fewer, Bigger, Bolder: From Mindless Expansion to Focused Growth, Fortune 500 veteran Sanjay Khosla reveals the Focus7 Framework. While learning the framework, you will be given nine different proven models, exercises, and tools that you can take back with you to start building your own strategic growth right away. Emphasizing action, this program teaches a market-tested framework that has delivered sustained double-digit growth in revenues and margins for major global brands. You will learn not only how to identify and drive growth opportunities but also how to implement strategies through the correct application of critical talent within inspired teams.
