The Growth Accelerator Programme

What is the Growth Accelerator Programme (GAP)?

The Growth Accelerator Programme (GAP) offers you an opportunity to connect on a deeper level with your peers and to capitalise on opportunities and support each other with your business challenges as you grow.

Cohorts consist of 6 – 8 consultancy leaders and a dedicated Growth Expert who will facilitate the sessions and bring their decades of experience of growing consultancies to challenge your thinking, provide advice and support, and help you avoid the common pitfalls of growth. The programme provides you with an opportunity to support each other in applying the learning you’re getting through the Network as well as tackle
new topics relevant to the group.

Within the 9-month programme, cohorts meet for three, evenly spaced, half-day, in-person ‘Growth Accelerator’ meetings and six online sessions. You will also have three one-hour, one-to-one, mentoring sessions with your Growth Expert.

“GAP has quickly become a trusted forum for sharing stories and discovering solutions to problems.”

The benefits of GAP

“Marcia (Marini – Growth Expert) has been excellent – going above and beyond and providing valuable advice and encouragement”

GAP is a unique chance to share ideas and discuss opportunities with people who can relate to the context within which you are operating. You will get heaps of practical advice as well as the chance to develop a connection and sense of belonging to your group. Participating in the programme is also a meaningful investment in your personal growth and development as a leader.

Cohorts are built to minimise competitive overlap in service offering, creating the perfect environment for sharing detailed, tactical and strategic information. Everyone learns as we get close and personal with each business and tackle challenges and opportunities together.

The regular meetings and resulting accountability will provide you with structured thinking space outside your business, help you prioritise your strategic actions, and support you in moving your priorities forward. The high levels of trust and understanding between cohort members often lead to partnership opportunities and sometimes long-lasting friendships.

• Each cohort member will choose their preferred areas of focus from a long list of topics and the most popular sessions will drive the agenda during the programme.
• A fellow cohort member will become your ‘Accountability Partner’ to keep you on track on with actions you commit to take following programme sessions.
• Members will be encouraged to have one or two 1:1s per month with fellow members to build relationships (and friendships) within the cohort, to open the door to opportunities for partnerships, and to support each other.
• There will also be a WhatsApp group for you to support each other outside of the sessions.
