The Roadmap MBA is a CPD certified training course which provides the real world skills to grow a business, aimed at organisations of less than 250 people.   SMEs account for 99% of the business population and the challenges smaller businesses face are different. 

In smaller businesses people are often asked to perform multiple roles, some of which they're not trained to do and to create high performing teams you need to teach these skills.
