The twelve courses
A business has twelve sides.
The first six courses are the decisions inside it. The second six are everything around them: how it’s reported, how it runs, the systems it needs, what the law allows, what’s new and where it competes. Each course teaches you to see one side. Together, they show you all twelve.
