Program Overview

Mid-level managers often find themselves managing day-to-day operations without the space or tools to think strategically. To bridge this gap, a leading agribusiness enterprise partnered with GlobalGyan to deliver a focused learning experience for their L2 band managers.

The Thrive Program was designed to sharpen participants’ ability to connect the dots—between numbers, strategy, and on-ground execution. With 18 high-potential managers in the first cohort, the program blended financial fluency with strategic clarity.
