How our programs are different

Frameworks to guide business growth

The Centre’s frameworks provide the wholistic perspective necessary for sustained company growth. They describe the stages of company growth, the changing roles of the CEO and executive team, the responsibilities of a leader, levels of delegation, evaluating employees’ performance, and the elements of an awesome organisation.

The Knowledge Framework for Growth is comprised of six elements and is applicable to all companies:

  • Products and Services
  • Marketing and Sales
  • Dealing with Externalities
  • Building the Organisation
  • Financing Growth
  • Managing Yourself as a Leader

Learn with your executive team

One person cannot grow a company alone. Growth requires a team effort, and it’s essential that all members of the team wholeheartedly believe in the mission, values, vision, strategy and the plan.

Business owners, CEOs and Managing Directors, and their team, need to learn the growth concepts together, be challenged by Growth Experts, and be exposed to other companies using different systems, strategies and tactics to grow. This is why our business Growth Modules are designed for the business leader and their executive team.

The business Growth Modules program is a unique opportunity to get away from the business and spend time with your executive team – and other company teams.

Our Growth Experts teach you how to think holistically about all aspects of your company – from people to strategy, systems to finance, products to customers. They teach you how, then challenge you to think bigger. They hold you and your team accountable for doing what you say you’ll do to address the problems inhibiting growth. All this will be reflected in the three-year growth plan that each team presents at the end of Module 3.

Focus on growth

All of our programs are focused on business growth. All the presentations, tools, frameworks, advice and counsel are focused on helping you and your team learn what to do when, why and in what order, so that you can grow your company.

There are many reasons why CEOs and executive teams come to our programs. Their company may have grown too fast and lost a lot of money; they want to grow, but don’t want that to happen again. The company may have grown, then stalled because it did not have the right people and infrastructure to sustain growth. The company may not be growing, and no one can figure out why.

Sometimes the issues are external, other times they are related to the product/customer fit, marketing/sales, or money. But at least half the time the issues are related to how the CEO and executive team lead, plan and whether they are building an awesome organisation.

Our programs, and in particular our Growth Modules, help the whole team unlock their company’s growth potential and grow as leaders and managers as well.

“I look back and realise I was thinking too small and trying to do too much by myself. Dr Matthews began the program with a description of the growth curve, the roles and responsibilities of the CEO, and the changes required as we began to grow. She and the Growth Experts provided the knowledge, frameworks, tools and strategies CEOs need to understand how to lead and manage growth. I highly recommend this program to any CEO who wants to learn how to grow.”

"The Growth Modules is an amazing program. It has excellently reinforced how we need to prioritise planning, make time away from being “in the business” to work “on the business”, and put in place a series of tactics and strategies that will enable us to reach our larger goal. The combination of tools and frameworks that are provided to help grow a business, the experience of the Growth Experts, and participating with other companies, has really changed the way I think about planning and prioritising goals. It has opened my eyes to the many ways we can grow our company and make it even better!”
