Organic growth is the most reliable and sustainable way to grow your company. However, few large firms have a systematic and repeatable process for driving organic growth; and “buying” growth can be opportunistic, dilutive, and risky. This program presents participants with a rigorous and market-tested approach to drive organic growth throughout medium- to large-sized companies in a collaborative learning environment. Combining academic research on growth and innovation with insights from practitioners who have implemented growth processes at leading companies, the program also highlights perspectives from the Kellogg Innovation Network—a group of participating innovators from companies such as Sony, IBM , Pepsi, and Microsoft. Participants will learn to think more holistically about innovation and growth and will leave the program inspired to put a growth process into action at their company.

The Kellogg School's other organic growth offering - Implementing Organic Growth Strategies - is built off the same methodologies but focuses on implementing growth strategies. This class focuses on creating growth strategies and how to instill a growth engine in your company. The classes were designed to be synergistic with but independent of the other. It does not matter in which order they are taken to gain the full benefit.
