Are you ready for AIM?

Article Date: Nov 05 2008

GrowthBusiness has teamed up with Cass Business School and Grant Thornton to find out how prepared CEOs are for taking their company to AIM when better times return.

All you have to do is answer a short questionnaire. Each participant will receive a complimentary copy of a Benchmark Report (1) enabling them to compare their own response with the aggregated results of all responses on the aspects of readiness covered by the survey. In addition to this, a Personal Profile (2) will be offered separately, showing the participant's response vs the complete sample on six key readiness factors.

(1) Available in March 2009

(2) Personal profile - available during Q1 2009
