Grow your business with CEO Now
CEO Now, powered by the Interise StreetWise MBA program, is a group-learning opportunity for established, growth-minded business owners to build and strengthen systems to keep their businesses growing. Up to 20 peer business owners and founders work together for seven months of focused business instruction and peer learning facilitated by a local Interise trained instructor.
Owners will spend up to 100 hours working on their business and putting their training to work in real time. This opportunity includes 40 hours of class time exploring topics like business and strategic assessments, finances, finding key personnel, marketing, and sales processes. Participants will also dedicate 12 hours to working in peer groups, which meet throughout the program to supplement in-class learning with real-world experience. This peer group will define essential discussion and working topics and have become a trusted advisory board for CEO Now alumni.
This no-cost program offers graduating participants with a 3-to-5-year strategic plan, connection to other like-minded businesses owners, and an ongoing access to resources, and advisors to help them continue to grow and scale.
In this information session, we will give you an overview of how this program is structured, who the program is intended for, the main concepts to be covered, and what you can expect to take away from the program. We’ll also give an overview of what is expected and required of program participants. There will be time to ask specific questions if you have them. We look forward to connecting with you.
