What is the Business Support?
Do you want to elevate your business to new heights? Our Next Level Scale Up programme could be for you.
If you are looking for new opportunities to learn and grow, the Scale Up programme provides the opportunity to work with a leadership and management specialist, helping you to become the best you can be.
The programme’s workshops will focus on four key areas, starting with Personal Leadership, which will cover the definition of leadership, time management, resilience, how you understand yourself as a leader, and more. Communication Excellence will move on to persuasion strategies, how to communicate in times of change, how to create profiles and hold effective meetings.
In addition to the workshop, 3.5 hours of high quality 1 to1 sessions with professional executive coaches, will help you to identify your Leadership growth accelerators and clarify the key priorities you must focus on to make an immediate, positive impact on their Leadership ability. Output from the sessions includes a personal learning journey plan, documented for the next year, and providing clarity on the habits and behaviours required to build and lead high performing teams; to consistently improve your Leadership ability and to grow your business.
The plan will include actions, habits to start/stop, and learning recommendations, including access to tailored Leadership resources which are not widely available.
Management Mastery will then build on your existing skills, helping to define leadership, as well as discussing situational leadership, how to recruit, onboard and engage teams, performance management, and more. Finally, the last workshop looks at Leading a High-Performance Team, targeting talent assessment, functional accountability, strategies to build high performance, and increasing your team’s emotional intelligence.
New to the programme this year, the Zellar Sustainability Platform is a brand-new offering extended to a limited number of Scale Up businesses. This dashboard benchmarks your current sustainability scores and lets you know where your business is at - it also gives you tips on how to reduce carbon emissions, and as you make your way through the Zellar platform, you receive badges the more you commit and make your business more sustainable.
The whole offering will end with the Growth Sprint Event. Sean Sankey, Managing Director of Much Clearer Ltd, will be leading the event. Participating businesses will work together to develop a tailored growth strategy that supports your goals and moves your business forward.
Once you graduate from the Next Level Scale Up Programme you will join the alumni and be able to take advantage of some exclusive content. This includes monthly 1-hour webinars, an annual in-person event, a dedicated alumni book club, the opportunity to join an exclusive Facebook and WhatsApp group and more.
