Business Growth for The Progressive CEO Who Aims to Win
Make your CEO work better immediately and sharpen your judgment while reducing complexity. Boom’s Business Growth System is the boxing gym where Progressive CEOs find and build what it takes to move forward fast.
Where business growth gets stuck
Boom works with Progressive CEOs of mid-sized companies—typically with 50 to 500 staff. They aim to be great CEOs and achieve big goals.
Here’s what we see again and again:
- CEOs become the bottleneck for key decisions—slowing things down.
- Strong plans—but implementation can’t keep up.
- Smart people—but some of them block progress.
- Growth initiatives—but they don’t land.
The CEO carries too much alone. Time is short. Pressure builds. Stakes are high—standing still is not an option.

High Tech, High Touch
Business is full of average approaches, many dressed up as “best practices.” At Boom, we believe the middle of the road is finished. Artificial intelligence is making sure of it, fast.
Growth-oriented companies now need both:
- High Tech to accelerate growth
- High Touch to make sure great people love the work
- Very little in between still works
The same is true for our work with Progressive CEOs: Boom makes sure you use High Tech to advance your business and High Touch to keep your edge as a leader.
