Our Clients

Our live workshops have already delivered transformational learning outcomes to people in the following companies:

GrowCFO Live Workshop Policies

GrowCFO stands as a market leading training provider, dedicated to delivering world class learning outcomes for financial professionals committed to transformational growth.
We foster a robust learning culture by implementing the following policies:
1. No video recordings are provided to encourage live attendance.
2. Course cohort group sizes are restricted to generate engagement.
3. Participants who keep their cameras turned off are removed from workshops.
Timing and Frequency
We run each course multiple times per year across different time zones based on participant demand and continually welcome feedback to expand our learning syllabus further.

What We Expect From Participants

Prioritize Your Growth Live participation is the key to unlocking full potential. Did you know that participating in live sessions boosts learning retention by 90%, compared to just 20% for passive watchers? At GrowCFO, we prioritize active learning that transforms how participants absorb and apply knowledge.

Engage to Excel: Engagement is everything when it comes to building lasting skills. Completing exercises with your camera on can increase skills application by 85%! At GrowCFO, we foster an engaging environment that empowers financial professionals to take their expertise to the next level.

Grow Beyond Limits: We expect you to embrace experiential learning, which can lead to a 40% boost in productivity and performance. GrowCFO is committed to guiding you through transformational growth in finance. Immerse

The Power of Experiential Learning

Unlike traditional classroom instruction, experiential learning encourages individuals to immerse themselves in situations that closely resemble the challenges they face in their professional lives. This hands-on approach allows learners to apply their skills in realistic settings, fostering a deeper understanding and improving the transferability of learning to real-world scenarios. By actively engaging in practical experiences, individuals gain insights that extend beyond theoretical knowledge. They acquire a holistic perspective on the subject matter, considering the nuances, complexities, and potential obstacles inherent in actual business situations. This comprehensive understanding paves the way for more effective decision-making, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

ExLF vs Video on Demand (VoD)

Experiential learning programs and video-on-demand (VoD) training methods both have their place in corporate learning and development. However, research shows that experiential learning generally leads to better retention of new skills and their application within roles post-training.

Here are some key statistics to illustrate the differences:

While VoD training offers flexibility and accessibility, experiential learning programs are generally more effective in ensuring skill retention and application, leading to better outcomes for both employees and organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have delivered our ExLF courses to hundreds of companies around the world across all size categories and ownership types with fantastic feedback throughout. This includes large corporates (both group and divisional teams), PE-backed companies, investment firms, owner-managed businesses, venture capital, family offices, charities, utilities, other not-for-profits, and regulatory firms.

All grades. We have delivered these courses to entire finance functions hundreds of times across all roles and grades from entry level team members up to CFOs. Many entire finance teams have already signed up.
Each person gets 24 annual credits, i.e 24 hours of CPD/CPE accredited learning. Courses are typically 3 or 4 x 2-hour modules (6 or 8 credits each). People spend credits in our automated credit system and can buy more when needed.
15-20 participants per course to create a powerful peer group collaborative format. We use Zoom Meetings with cameras on throughout all exercises and feedback. To avoid passive learning (which devalues people’s experience and yields much lower learning outcomes), we remove participants who do not switch on their cameras or engage with the exercises and feedback parts of the session.
Our typical approach is to present the content, engage everyone in an experiential exercise, present back results, and then receive feedback from facilitators and peers. We repeat this formula around 3-4 times per session
All courses are delivered by ex-finance leaders who have been there before and previously delivered your roles. Most facilitators are now dedicated trainers, professional mentors and executive coaches.
We deliver course modules most days in the EMEA and North American time zones, excluding Fridays, weekends, public holidays and month-end.
We run each course multiple times per year based on demand levels and vary start times to accommodate those wishing to take them wherever possible.
Experiential Learning Programs must be attended live to fully benefit. Just like an in-person event, if you miss a session then you’ll need to wait for the next one. No videos are provided.
