In this presentation we discuss how to design and implement a growth system and once that is complete we will talk about growth strategies for a recession by introducing and discussing a Frost & Sullivan proprietary tool called the Growth Excellence Matrix, which we sometimes refer to this as GEM. The Growth Excellence Matrix is our strategic approach to measuring a company’s future growth potential as a function of their strategic excellence and implementation excellence relative to their competitors. In this session, Craig will examine techniques that help identify areas for improvement and opportunities for growth in developing strategies which are realistic and achievable based on both internal as well as external challenges to growth. He will also discuss in detail the key fundamentals driving the future success of leading organisations and provide insights for creating a culture that will foster and ultimately lead to thought leadership, growth and innovation.
