- 33. Innovating for Growth – Success Stories "The Innovating for Growth programme has been absolutely invaluable for our business. It is so rare, when running a small company, that you get the chance to pause, step back and take an objective look at your business, warts and all. This programme has allowed us to do just that. As a result of the sessions, I feel we have a renewed sense of focus, purpose and drive, and that can only be beneficial for our business. Thank you." www.bl.uk "Very worth while experience, I feel energized but also emotional which is a powerful combination." 33
