Build a winning strategy with the Scaling Up framework. Create your One-Page Strategic Plan and align your team for 7-figure growth.
About this Event

Is your business leading the market, or just reacting to it?

Most entrepreneurs are so busy fighting daily fires that "strategy" becomes a luxury they can't afford. But without a clear plan, you aren't scaling—you’re just running faster on a treadmill.

In this Ignite Learning Day, we use the world-renowned Scaling Up framework to help you move from accidental growth to intentional domination. Strategy isn't about a 50-page document; it’s about making the critical decisions that allow you to charge more, attract better talent, and outthink the competition.


The Goal: Strategic Clarity

We focus on "The Sandwich"—balancing your core values and purpose with your 3-to-5-year "Winning Move." You will walk away not just with ideas, but with a draft of your One-Page Strategic Plan (OPSP).

What we will explore:

  • Core Values & Purpose: Defining the "soul" of your business to drive culture and branding.
  • The BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal): Identifying the long-term "North Star" that motivates your entire team.
  • The One-Page Strategic Plan (OPSP): Learning how to simplify your entire strategy so every employee is aligned and empowered.
  • Market Differentiation: Finding your "Winning Move"—the thing that makes you the only logical choice for your customers.
  • SWT Analysis: Looking at the Strengths, Weaknesses, and external Trends that will impact your industry over the next three years.

The Experience

This is an execution-focused workshop.

  • Morning: Dive into the Scaling Up tools and audit your current strategic position.
  • Afternoon: Collaborative workshopping to refine your Brand Promise and fill out your OPSP.
