Build Your Scaleup & Growth

Digitise Deliberately Webinar 23 July 2026

Join a 90 minute working session for a non-tech approach to digitising your business. 


Build Your Scaleup & Growth

Date: Thursday 23 July 2026 
Time: 8am to 9am BST / 9am to 10am SAST including Q&A
Venue: Zoom, link supplied on registration

This practical, non-technical workshop is for established business owners with between 15 and 150 employees who want to:

  • Digitise with purpose and intent, not panic
  • Scale their business without increasing chaos
  • Boost productivity and team performance without becoming more dependent
  • Unlock time and headspace to lead, not react
  • Increase company value and future saleability
  • An interest in removing dependency, improving team performance, and avoiding wasted tech investments

Whether you’re in manufacturing, services, retail, or distribution, if you’re a business owner driving growth, signing off the tech budget, and carrying the weight of the business, this is built for you.

What You’ll Get From It

Five crisp, practical outcomes:

  1. Clarity on what to digitise — and what not to
    → You’ll map your systems and identify high-impact digital wins.
  2. A practical tool to build and test your digitisation use case
    → No more wasted spend, broken adoption, or tech that no one uses.
  3. A business-first lens on tech decisions
    → You’ll learn how to align systems and digitisation with your scale strategy.
  4. A scorecard to evaluate every future tech investment
    → Confident go/no-go decisions that build value, not cost.
  5. The confidence to lead your team through change
    → You’ll leave with a blueprint to drive productivity, profitability, and performance,  without being a tech expert.

 This Is Not For

  • Startups or microbusinesses
  • Delegated tech managers (this is for owners)
  • People looking for software demos or platforms to buy

Cape Town CEO workshop

Cape Town: Build your ScaleUp Blueprint 18 August 2026

Build Your Scale-Up & Growth Blueprint: 
A 4-Hour Hands-On Business Workshop

Hosted by internationally recognised speaker and business growth expert, 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.

Cape Town CEO workshop

Date:       Tuesday 18th August 2026
Time:       7am  arrival for 7.30am start, until 11.30am
Venue:    Doubletree by Hilton, Woodstock, Cape Town

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.

Host:

Johan Taljaard

Johan Taljaard

Before investing in Aurik, Johan worked in mergers and acquisitions, where he saw the scale of the challenge facing business owners who believed they could sell their businesses.

Of the +-250 businesses he worked with over 8 years, 81% of these business owners could not sell their businesses. This corroborated his personal experiences of struggling to sell his own businesses.

Johan was already running his first business while qualifying for his B.Comm in Entrepreneurship. He subsequently started and built several companies across sectors including IT, Finance, Publishing and Digital marketing. For 10 years he ran a financing company that offered bridging and project finance, among other solutions. He spent 2 years in a large corporate, where he was a project manager on a range of FMCG projects. This accumulated experience developed his borderline-obsession with what he calls ‘the end game’: building a business so that it can be sold.

Who should attend:

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.
