"Since we've done the course there is a hell of a lot more focus to everything we do as a management team. Instead of going for any old business we have the confidence to say "no" to projects that don't fit our new strategic goals. It seems to be working. Since the end of the course we've won DADI's Digital Agency of the Year and are 62% up on last year's sales."

"Great course, excellent group of lecturers, well organised. I found it fascinating to work with other creative industries - my sector, games development, can be very insular so this was an eye opener. A good mix of leadership, strategy and finance, all of which was directly relevant to my job running a games development studio."

"The really great thing about the BCB course is that its impact has been much longer term. I find myself referring to the notes and thinking back to the sessions almost as a reflex action as we plan and develop our business. As a result, the positive impact of the course gets greater over time, which in my experience is a unique benefit."

"One of the most positive aspects of the CCB course was the mentoring programme. Former CCB CEO Greg Orme introduced us to John Wilson who offered invaluable input during the development of our business plan. John encouraged us to aim higher and think harder about how best to win new business. He was inspirational throughout and has since joined Leap as a non-executive director."
