12Faces Skill’s Modules are designed to cover a particular topic of interest while advancing the business.

An example might be “Improving Cashflow“.

  • Skills are designed as 1 month “Sprints” with a workload designed to be achievable by a busy business leader and team in one month.
  • Leaders pick from the range on offer to address the most pressing Growth Factor holding back their business.
  • Skill’s Modules are colour coded like martial arts belts.  All leaders start at “white belt” level.  They move through yellow then blue then black in our system.  Like any martial artist, you start with the lower belts and master them before moving on.
  • Every business leader progressed their career and business with this sort of incremental learning.
