Background
Carol Foussat is the Programme Leader of the Business Growth Programme. She has been working on the programme since 2005 and has helped dozens of companies transform their businesses and themselves. Carol first came to ߣߣÊÓƵ in 1998 to do the two year Executive MBA, specialising in organisational change and leadership - two topics she believes are totally inter-twined. She covers these subjects on the Business Growth Programme.
While running the BGP keeps her busy, Carol also runs a couple of BGP Advisory Boards for business owners who have been through the programme and want to continue the learning and development journey with fellow past participants. This coaching and mentoring work is also done for other companies.
