The Franchisor Excellence Masterclass delivers powerful insights into the psychology of franchising that every franchisor executive needs to know. The content is practical and evidence-based, and draws from FRI’s decades of research working with hundreds of the world’s most successful franchise networks. Sessions are highly interactive and provide participants with the tools and processes proven to build a profitable, healthy franchising culture where franchisor teams and franchisees can work together to achieve their goals.
