There’s never been a more important time to invest in the future of your business. The Scale Up Programme allows you to do this by helping you to build a strategic plan for the next 3-5 years and prioritising the important goals on how to get there.

 

SMEs that have accessed the Programme have seen an average increase in Turnover by 11% and employed an average of 2 new employees over the last year.

 

How can the Scale Up Programme benefit you?  It provides an opportunity through a Cohort learning style to:

 

• Develop a strategic 3-year plan on a single page (known as the Visionary ORBIT)

• Develop a Growth Action Plan to focus on 3 main objectives and identify key manageable tasks with deadlines to achieve these objectives.

• Learn in a peer learning to encourage dynamic thinking and supported by bespoke masterclasses best suited to the group’s challenges.

 

The Visionary ORBIT provides SMEs with the opportunity to develop a strategic 3-year plan on a single page. The Visionary ORBIT will successfully help you plan and implement a growth strategy to take your business to the next level. The ORBIT allows you as a business to identify milestones and scaling challenges to achieve your growth ambition.

The Growth Action Plan allows businesses to focus on 3 main objectives and identify key manageable tasks with deadlines to achieve these objectives.

​

Peer-to-peer support is a chance to meet other like-minded business leaders to share ideas, best practice and learn from one another. The groups bring together businesses from diverse sectors to encourage dynamic thinking and provide a fresh perspective on existing challenges and opportunities within your business.

​

• Learn from like-minded businesses: Find solutions to the real issues your business is facing by working with other local business leaders facing similar challenges.

• All it takes is your time: Peer Networks is a fully funded programme; all it takes is a few hours of your time each month. You can join virtual sessions from the comfort of your home or office.

• Real results: Activities take place in structured, small-group sessions, led by a skilled professional facilitator to make sure you see real results in return for the investment of your time. You will also benefit from access to 1-2-1 mentoring, coaching or advice depending on the support you need.

 

How it works?

​

Delivered by our expert facilitators you will be introduced to a cohort of fellow business leaders as you build your strategic 3-year plan and work through your business challenges. The Bootcamps typically run for between 1 or 2 days and followed up afterwards by your own dedicated Account Manager.

 

You will also access 1-2-1 support matched to your specific needs to help build on your learning experience.
