The Programme

The Scale-up Leaders' Academy (SULA) will build your own leadership skills and it will ensure your team are not left behind.

With a mix of scale-up coaching and peer-to-peer mentoring for you, and shared business expertise and inspiration for you and your senior management, SULA will give you a valuable insight into how successful organisations have scaled-up and engage your team along the way; allowing you to implement change immediately and transform the way you work.

You'll also be given recommended readings and podcasts to further your learning along the way.

Scale-Up Coaching

For entrepreneurs

SULA coaching sessions are held monthly throughout the course and are exclusively for entrepreneurs. Each session follows the Verne Harnish Scaling Up methodology, providing you with practical tools and actions to implement in your business. You'll work alongside your peer group, receiving the support needed to drive growth. To fully benefit from the Academy, you must be committed to completing your homework.

The six sessions include:

Introduction / High-Growth Mindset
Strategy and Planning
Cash / Finance for Growth

People and Talent
Execution and Implementation
Building a 'One Page Strategic Plan'

Inspirational Workshops

Our workshops have been designed specifically so your team can embed the learnings of the programme more quickly. You will attend alongside your senior leadership team ensuring that you are all learning and building leadership capacity together.

In 2025, we will hold three sessions, each lasting a half day as follows:

World-class Teams
Culture and Values
