Crestcom (B2B / Leadership Training, headquartered in USA) operates 168 franchise locations units with +3.0% year-over-year unit growth, and scores 45/100 on the FranchisePulse AI Adoption Score for Q3 2026 — ranking #56 of 58 tracked franchise systems.
B2B leadership-development franchise with 168 franchise locations and operations in more than 60 countries. Crestcom publishes no AI product of its own — its AI material is training content about how leaders should handle AI, not a description of AI in its own operations — so the entry now says so rather than implying early adoption. Its franchisee-facing system is the COACH portal.
Crestcom's own franchise page states: 'Crestcom started franchising in 1992 and has since expanded into over 60 countries worldwide.'
