Scaling Up Program

Build a Better Business. Scale with Confidence. Multiply Value.

Accelerate Growth. Amplify Profit.

Create a Business That Runs Without You — One That’s Aligned, Scalable, and Built to Last.

The Scaling Up Program is a high-impact, coach-led implementation journey for founders, CEOs, and leadership teams ready to break through growth barriers and scale with clarity, structure, and momentum.

Built on Verne Harnish’s proven Scaling Up methodology, this program gives you the tools, structure, and guidance to work through the Four Decisions—People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash, based on what your business needs most right now.

The 4 Decisions Every Business Must Get Right

The Scaling Up Program guides you through the four critical areas that determine the success of any business:

People

Get the right people doing the right things. Build a strong, accountable team with clear roles, rhythms, and results.

Execution

Turn your strategy into results. Streamline priorities, drive accountability, and establish rhythms that create consistent performance.

Strategy

Craft a winning strategy that aligns your core customer, brand promise, and long-term vision, so you can dominate your niche.

Cash

Fuel your growth. Accelerate cash flow, improve margins, and free up resources to reinvest in your business and your future.

The Scaling Up methodology has consistently been proven to deliver

This isn’t a generic program, it’s a flexible, coach-led transformation tailored to you and focused on what matters most to your business right now.

Who It’s For

This program is ideal for:

Founders, CEOs, and leadership teams of companies ready to scale
Businesses doing $1M–$100M in revenue
Teams facing challenges with alignment, execution, or cash flow
Owners preparing for a future exit, long-term succession or long-term value creation

If you’re ready to scale predictably, eliminate chaos, and build a business that runs without you, then this is for you.

Quarterly Sprints. Measurable Progress. Real Results.

The Scaling Up Program is designed around 90-day execution sprints that drive momentum, accountability, and results.

Every business has a different constraint at each stage of growth. This program gives you structure; quarterly sprints, accountability, tools and frameworks, and ongoing coaching, but also the flexibility to focus on the highest-value issues as they emerge.

Each quarter, we:

Align your leadership team on a clear Quarterly Theme & #1 Priority
Set SMART quarterly goals with cascading priorities across departments
Implement accountability tools like Rocks, Meeting Rhythms, and KPIs
Track progress and identify blockers in real-time
Build toward your Annual Strategic Plan, one powerful quarter at a time

This means you’ll see measurable change every 90 days, not just at the end of the year.

We don’t just follow a checklist, I will help you identify, prioritise, and tackle what matters most right now, to ensure progress, alignment, and performance.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program, it’s tailored to your business, your people, and your goals.

Time-Boxed Execution + Ongoing Coaching = Exponential Growth

How the Program Works

1. Onboarding Strategy Day or Executive Retreat

We begin with a 1-day onboarding session with your executive team in the form of a strategy day, workshop, or offsite retreat.
In this session, we will:

Align on your long-term vision
Identify key constraints and opportunities
Facilitate strategic planning to define a bold vision, clarify priorities, and build a practical roadmap.
Set your Quarterly and Annual Goals and a company-wide Critical Number
Break this down into Quarterly Objectives with aligned departmental goals

2. 90-Day Execution Sprints

Each quarter is a focused sprint after which we review what’s working, what’s not, and where to double down.

We facilitate quarterly planning sessions to:

Review the previous quarter
Define and set a new Critical Number for the organisation
Define rocks and KPIs for each department
Cascade accountability and priorities to every team

Each department’s Critical Number is directly aligned with the company’s goal—ensuring focused execution across the organisation.

3. Quarterly Reviews & Reset

At the end of each quarter, we spend a half day to assess:

What was accomplished or achieved
Where execution fell short — and why
What needs to be adjusted
What strategic or operational pivots are needed
Where to double down
How to adapt the next sprint to stay on track toward your annual goal

We course-correct based on real-time data, outcomes, and feedback, ensuring you stay aligned and adaptive.

4. Monthly or Fortnightly Coaching

The CEO or a nominated senior leader receives direct access to a coach for regular coaching calls. These sessions are flexible and tailored to your needs, including:

Strategic decision-making
Leadership and performance coaching
Operational problem-solving
Team dynamics or succession planning

5. Continuous Support

You’ll also receive:

Unlimited email support between sessions
Phone and message support as required
Access to tools, templates, and strategic resources
On-demand advisory for unexpected issues
A dedicated partner who’s in your corner at every step

What We Work on Depends on Where You Are

Whether you’re solving team accountability, clarifying strategy, improving margins, or preparing for sale, this program meets you where you are.

Every quarter, we focus on your most critical priority, then apply the right frameworks, tools, and coaching to address it.

Your time, energy, and resources go toward the highest-leverage actions, with measurable business impact.

Strategic Tools - Used When They Matter Most

This program isn’t about ticking off tools in sequence or following a one-size-fits-all formula. It’s about helping you, the CEO, identify your most critical constraint or opportunity, and using the right tools and frameworks to solve it.

We help you select and implement what’s needed at the right time and for the right reasons.
