About the course
Growing an Established Diverse Business enables participants in established businesses to accelerate their growth.
This follow-up program to Building a Successful Diverse Business helps participants overcome the challenges that business owners often see after several years of successful growth, and helps them assess the alternatives to organic growth—strategic alliances and acquisitions.
The one-week program gives business owners and their key executives the vital frameworks and skills they need to expand their scale and scope. It is an ideal program for any business owner at a crucial crossroads in their business journey, just seeking to take a successful business to the next level, or contemplating an exit strategy.

Sessions devoted to financial skills, including business valuation and alternative sources of capital, deliver the insights needed to develop strong financial footing for growth.
