Workshop Overview

“I’m also excited. Excited because I’ve got tools now … we can do this!” – Workshop Attendee

The workshop provides an overview of the Scaling Up framework, the 4 Decisions and associated tools. Although individuals attend the workshop, we find that it is most impactful when a leadership team of 3 to 5 people attend and can compare learning post workshop. The workshop is conducted by a Certified Scaling Up Business Coach experienced in strategic thinking, execution planning, change management and team development.

Have you optimized the GROWTH of your business with the ability to deliver on that GROWTH? Are you setting the stage to properly scale with demand? Are you executing a winning strategy while increasing your cash flow and maximizing profitability? Are you able to effectively overcome the natural tendency toward friction, confusion or under-performance associated with the complexity of a growing entity? If you answered NO to any of these questions, this workshop will provide a system and tools to overcome these challenges.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This course is open to all those interested in amplifying their success and scaling up their businesses via a proven business growth methodology. We welcome lifelong learners and those hungry for best practices and cutting-edge thought leadership. We welcome leaders who want to develop their team—and know they can’t do it alone – and are willing to invest in an outside resource for help.

To maximize results and return on investment, we encourage leaders and senior teams to attend together. Have at least 2 people from your team come to the workshop for the best experience, takeaways, and insights.

The workshop experience is best when attended by those who have already read the Scaling Up book by Verne Harnish and would like an experience using some of the Scaling Up tools for the first time. It is also for those who have tried to implement the Scaling Up tools on their own and have decided that they need the expertise of a coach to reach the next level of execution using the tools. There is much information provided in this workshop, so come prepared to learn, absorb and apply.

Please, reach out if you have any questions regarding the process or are interested in exploring a coaching relationship.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THE WORKSHOP:

The workshop provides a high-level overview of the methodology and the Four Decisions every company needs to do right: People, Strategy, Execution and Cash. An experience using some of the Scaling Up tools is also provided. The fundamental topics covered are:

Strategy — Align your Business around a powerful strategy that clearly differentiates your offering and is viewed as unique in the marketplace.

People — Attract and retain an Executive Leadership team that produces consistently, reliably, predictably.

Execution — Build an accountability system that assures that things get done when they are supposed to get done.

Cash — Generate cash reserves internally minimizing the need for outside financial resources.

WORKSHOP CLOSE:
We will ask you to evaluate your experience of the day and provide feedback.
We will provide a Scaling Up Certificate of Completion as well.

HOW ATTENDEES FELT AT THE END OF THE DAY:

“Excited because there are so many opportunities”

“I feel excited that there is an opportunity to put some things in place, especially around People and Values, that I found are the under-pinning of getting a real buzz out of the business and when you have got that, those two elements, then things start to happen in ways you don’t understand. So, this has been a big help.”

“I’m also excited. Excited because I’ve got tools now … we can do this!”

“Today’s been great. What I have seen today is that there are still some gaps, things I need to fill in and you have given us some pretty interesting processes to work through.”

“Confronted but motivated”

“Relieved because some of the pain points I have been feeling there are some real solutions. I’m in a good head space particularly around the rhythm and regular meetings.”

“Optimism and clarity. Clarity where I need to go as a leader, how I need to lead the business in the next steps, tools, and some direction.”

“Clarity. The other thing I feel is, to be honest, relief to some degree because hearing everyone’s stories and pressures – I am not alone … powerful. This is the stuff we go through.”

ALL WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE:

  • You will receive an electronic version of the Scaling Up Growth Tools.
  • A copy of the book Scaling Up by Verne Harnish.
