I call it the 120 Growth Operating System, because with it you can turn a series of small 1% improvements into 20% annual growth in sales, profit, and company valuation.
Additionally, the 120 Growth Operating System will help you:

Lead and Follow

Intellectual Property
Along with the 120 Growth Operating System, I created a proprietary performance diagnostic and benchmarking system (the 120 Growth Catalyst) to help companies identify opportunities, create, and execute their growth strategy, and monitor results.
