The programme invites leaders and senior managers from the SME business community who meet the eligibility criteria below to participate in a local peer network that will meet regularly over several months.

Complementing the delivery of facilitated action learning sessions will be Individual one-to-one support (coaching, mentoring, and/or advice) to help implement concepts discussed during the action learning sessions and manage change.
