Typical Participant Profile of GEGN Business Group Workshops

Typical Participant Profile of GEGN Business Group Workshops: -

Typical Participant Profile
The target audience would primarily be large diversified privately controlled businesses. Many private businesses are surviving and growing as a result of their diversified nature. Their diversification has led to their growth and their growth has now reached pretty large proportions at least on a local or national basis. Their trajectory to go international or to be able to fight more aggressively the multi-national giants who are taking away market share are a few of their next steps. They have the financial muscle to continue expanding beyond their shores. So the target businesses interested in this pioneer seminar would be medium or large and diversified or otherwise are privately controlled businesses who are aspiring to grow and diversify and want to get on the right track now.

Qualifying for Admission
Enrolment is limited to a select, qualified group of owners, chairmen, directors, private equity partners; institutional investors; leaders and CEOs with major equity or controlling interest or management control in the business. Enrolment may include also next generation business leaders or potential business leaders/managers who may be in line for key positions within the company.There are no formal educational requirements. Knowledge of English is essential for class participation in fast-moving discussions.

We recommend the participation by teams of four or more individuals representing both genders and two generations of business leaders, when possible - so as to enrich discussions and eliminate bias. Participants are managing an aspiring emerging multinational; a company targeting international markets; a privately controlled group with  subsidiaries in a variety of industries with different levels of shareholding and varying business and market life cycles for each business unit.

Current Goal
Planning or implementing a major change programme, or needing to develop a state-of-the-art capability for managing professionally the way the owner and top-control team interacts with the business and the way the business relates to the top control team in view of the need for the business to globalise and achieve business excellence.

Company Situation
Participants may be drawn from a privately controlled group facing a dynamic competitive market, including those recently facing reduction of tariff barriers, or currently facing a local economic recession or deregulation. Change creates threats to established players and opportunities for new entrants - this programme will be relevant to either type of organisation.
