ScaleUp and Growth Blueprint Workshop hosted by Investec & Aurik

Presented by business growth author, speaker and broadcaster Pavlo Phitidis, this workshop is designed to help established business owners step out of the engine room and take control of their business’s future.

In this dynamic and practical session, you will:

Clarify your ultimate destination – define where your business is going.
Identify the gaps holding you back from achieving that vision.
Build a customised action plan to close those gaps and accelerate growth.

This is not theory. It’s a proven framework, tailored to your business, delivered in an engaging, eye-opening and highly practical way.

“Very informative and simplified a complex process”

Why attend:

Scaling, exiting, or passing your business to the next generation won’t happen by accident. Success requires:

A clear action plan with measurable outcomes.
An aligned, purposeful team working towards a shared destination.
A framework that drives growth, value, and succession.

The Blueprint equips you with exactly that, giving you the tools and clarity to make the big decisions with confidence.

“Real-world relatability to any business in any industry”

What you’ll walk away with:

By the end of the session, you will leave with a 3–5 year roadmap to grow your business, improve value, and secure its future. Your personalised blueprint will include:

A distinct brand and clear purpose that drives market relevance.
Engineered scale for predictable, consistent customer experiences.
A motivated, effective team aligned with your growth goals.
Four proven growth strategies to achieve measurable outcomes.
A deep understanding of the five levers of company value.
Practical tools to support valuation, capital raise, succession, or exit.

Who should attend:

This workshop is for established private business owners and their key partners. If you’re serious about scaling, preparing for an exit, or creating a lasting business legacy, you need to be in the room.

Bring your leadership team so that everyone is aligned on your growth blueprint – the shared destination and measurable outcomes – and ready to execute across all functions of your business.
