“…In the end, what kills or makes an organisation is its competitive advantage compared to peers …” – Anthony A Kila

It is aimed at experienced and new Managers as well as Supervisors whose tasks include planning, implementing or supervising activities aimed at increasing revenue and improving services or production of your organisation. This Executive Masterclass is crucial to all those that want to improve their performance and those who are new to the role but want to reach high levels.

We have also gathered information from Organisations that have gained customers and new businesses from disgruntled customers.

It will also be an opportunity to share direct and inside tips about our ever-moving sectors.
