PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIALS
"The Owner/President Management program was an outstanding experience. The interaction with fellow attendees on a personal level created deep, lifelong friendships, while at the same time facilitating powerful interlearning. The group interaction in the case studies coupled with the class discussions challenged my business mindset and helped me develop new and creative business models." Padraig O'Ceidigh [Chairman], Aer Arann, Ireland "The Building New Businesses program is a must for executives who aspire to be entrepreneurs and expand their business. Now I understand how to build new scalable ventures that make economic, financial, and commercial sense.
