Scaling Masterclasses

‌

Our Scaling Masterclasses equip founders and leaders of scale-ups with the latest research-based tools and competencies required to successfully scale their businesses.

Structured facilitation of peer learning, where CEOs and functional heads learn with and from their peers in a managed context generates deeper learning than unstructured contexts such as random meetups at networking events.

Actively listening to peers who are on the same journey can be both revealing and comforting for top managers in scaling businesses, but the topic needs to be relevant and the “so what” question needs to be addressed.

We bring together management teams in non-competing businesses, either face to face or virtually, to learn scaling together and develop their own solutions to their own challenges in an approach that is more “guide on the side” than “sage on the stage”. The secret sauce is deceptively simple one pager exercises, co-created with managers over decades of research and training, that help managers to uncover underlying issues to the problems they face and devise practical approaches to address them.

Coaching Scaling Businesses

We delivered a workshop on “Coaching scaling businesses” to more than 40 scale-up advisors of the Enterprise Europe Network, funded by the European Commission. The training was organised by the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) and took place in Brussels. More than 45 scale-up advisors from across Europe attended and brought back the lessons learned to their scale-up advisor colleagues and their client companies.
