Businesses that stall at the growth stage almost never have a problem with their product.

The ceiling is almost always in one of three places – how clearly the business is directed, whether the team structure still fits, or whether the financial picture is clear enough to make confident decisions.

In this Lunch and Learn, Michael Wakeham shares a practical framework for founders and owner-managers who are ready for the next stage of growth.

Drawing on two decades of experience working inside SMEs and established business growth research, Michael explains the three areas that consistently shape whether a growing business scales or plateaus – strategy, people and finance.

Topics covered in this session
- How to tell the difference between having a strategy and having a list of goals, and why it changes everything about how you grow
- What to look for in your people and team structure as the business moves to the next stage
- How improving your financial visibility changes the quality of decisions you make without needing to change the underlying numbers
About the speaker
Michael has spent more than 20 years working inside owner-managed SMEs in recruitment, professional services, healthcare and franchising at the point where businesses have something that works and are figuring out how to build on it.

He sits on the advisory board at Arden University and mentors businesses through the Help to Grow: Management Course. He also works with founders and owner-managers through his practice, Brynley Knight.
