Unique insights and fresh perspectives on business growth and
innovation



Growth is a priority for most businesses, but one that's elusive
and difficult to achieve. But some companies do it well, delivering
sustainable growth year after year. What makes those companies so
special? And what can you and your business learn from them?

Growth Champions looks at 20 leading global organizations
and identifies the key elements that drive their success. These
growth champions include such companies as PepsiCo, Apple, Rolls
Royce, Google, Audi, and P&G. While many share some common
traits, they all take different paths to growth using different
formulas to achieve it. Here, you'll learn how they formulate and
execute strategies, motivate and engage people, build a growth
culture, and develop and use distinctive competencies to stay ahead
of the pack.
