CEOExpand by growthcurv
Better Strategy, Better Governance, Better Boards
About the Programme
Boards and CEOs today face a business environment shaped by AI disruption, global trade shifts, geopolitical pressures, ESG expectations and slowing markets. In competitive economies, incremental thinking or organic expansion alone is no longer enough. Leadership teams need to think boldly, identify hidden risks and barriers and create differentiated strategies to stay resilient and future-ready.
CEOExpand is a 12-week hybrid SaaS growth strategy accelerator that addresses these challenges. It guides boards, CEOs and leadership teams to build bold, future-ready growth strategies and plans. The programme strengthens alignment between boards and management, improves oversight and enhances confidence in long-term performance.
