Product Description

Review

"The Business Growth and Development Programme was a turning point for my business and my career. This book, like the programme, is priceless—a true must-read for every ambitious entrepreneur!"

--Lord Bilimoria CBE DL, founder and Chairman of Cobra Beer

"BGP was a massive help to me in growing my business. This new book is a fantastically valuable reminder of much of the key content of the programme and the assignments provide a great way to review my strategy for the next stage of growth. I have no hesitation in recommending both the BGP programme and this book to any ambitious owner manager."

--Lara Morgan, CEO and top banana, Pacific Direct

"Growing Your Business is a route map for entrepreneurs seeking dramatic, profitable growth. The programme on which it is based increased the value of Go Ape! by £30 million in 5 minutes. It is well worth a read!"

--Tristram Mayhew, Chief Gorilla, Go Ape!

BGP program in a book 29 Oct 2009

By Steve U

Format:Paperback

This book contains much of the content of the Cranfield Business Growth Program (although, of course, not the discussions with other participants)and is a useful resource to refresh/remind yourself of the wide range of topics covered. Excellent for dipping into as and when you need to. Highly recommended. I got one free on the BGP program but bought another for my partners to educate my partners and so help them understand the ideas I put forward follwing attending the program.

Growing Your Business: A Handbook for... 12 Sep 2010

By Mike, Small Business Owner - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Kindle Edition

A true handbook for business owners.
As an owner of a small but growing business, which began five years ago, this is much needed information. Very pratical and valuable tools, which are backed up with real life examples.

With recently beginning another new unrelated business, I plan to complete each assignment of each chapter.
If you own your own small business this is an excellent read. If you are in the first part of your business after start-up, read this book.

Popular Highlights

(What's this?)

Nine out of ten of the fastest growing and most profitable smaller businesses achieve these results by focusing on their core products/ services and their core markets. &quote;

Highlighted by 5 Kindle users

These include achievement, recognition, responsibility, advancement and growth and work itself. In other words, if you want to increase job satisfaction and really get people performing with gusto, increase the opportunity in the work for people to find these factors. You may be able to do this by making the job itself intrinsically more interesting, by delegating more responsibility or by just by saying thank you now and then. In fact, the problem is not so much motivating people as avoiding demotivating them! &quote;

The typical owner-manager spends 90 per cent of the time on day-to-day operations, 10 per cent of the time on improving those operations and precious little on future strategy. &quote;
