Hear from business leaders in the past cohorts
"During the engagement, we evaluated what were the key drivers to the success of our business. After understanding the drivers, we adjusted our value proposition to our customers such as crafting our purposes, vision, social mission, and brand message. With this customer value proposition, we were able to create a game plan to bring this value to our customers. This included developing a forecast model, a hiring plan and an execution plan for each team within the company as well as a fund-raising plan. The big result coming out of Grow B.I.G was that we are now more focused on what’s important to our customers and our business.”
- Jonathan Chua, CEO of Beam&Go
"Grow B.I.G was an eye-opening experience! It was refreshing and humbling to have someone else look at the company in such detail and assemble the big picture for us. The insights from different metrics and functions that we either had not realised or took for granted, provided us with workable frameworks to create more focus, consistency and clarity in our operations, branding and overall direction. Refocusing our efforts to keep the business in a sustainable position during the pandemic would enable us to carry on with work that we do and the social impact that we are striving to achieve."
- Moses James, Co-founder of Innervate Fitness
"I realise that having passion alone is not enough. In order to meaningfully help my people to rebuild their lives, I have to be very intentional in living out Infinite’s purpose. Through the programme, I have gained greater clarity on how to scale my business, empower my core team, build professional management capabilities and create an inclusive and empathetic environment to accentuate positive performance."
Jabez Koh, CEO of Infinite Transports
