About the program
BAP was launched on the 20 August 2018.
The program is an initiative of the Northern Territory Government, hosted by the Darwin Innovation Hub and delivered by the Australian Centre for Business Growth.
BAP is a high-value, world-class program that enables chief executive officers (CEO) and managing directors to identify opportunities, overcome business challenges and drive competitive advantage. Based on a comprehensive and integrated Knowledge Framework for Growth developed by Dr Jana Matthews, the program provides CEOs and managing directors with the knowledge and skills needed to develop as leaders, accelerate company growth and compete in a global marketplace. The program consists of two parts: the growth clinic and the growth modules.
