What past participants say about the Business Navigator programme

Participating on the EI Business Planning workshop was a really useful exercise as our management team were given the time and tools to thoroughly plan how our company will grow over the next 3 years. Now, we are clear on where our company growth will come from and now have a realistic business plan which we can execute on.
