2024 Autumn Masterclasses
Chadwicks Masterclasses have been running regularly since 2012. They have developed over time but our aim has been consistent – that you enjoy the sessions, meet like-minded people and discover something new, interesting and useful.
Strategies for Business Growth
Our Autumn Masterclasses series explores comprehensive strategies for driving business growth, tailored for organisations aiming for long-term success.
Each will follow a similar format of an initial dive into some of the theory underpinning a particular group of strategies, followed by a guest speaker who has used some of the strategies to build a business before concluding with a general discussion where delegates will be encouraged to explore how they could overcome their barriers to scaling.
This series equips business leaders and professionals with a comprehensive toolkit for driving growth through various strategic approaches. By exploring organic, inorganic, and collaborative growth strategies, participants will gain a well-rounded perspective on how to navigate different growth pathways, each tailored to different business contexts and objectives. Whether focusing on internal resources, leveraging external opportunities, or building strategic partnerships, these presentations provide the insights needed to foster long-term, sustainable growth in today’s competitive landscape.

The first session focuses on growing a business from within by leveraging existing resources. It covers market penetration, product development, market expansion, and diversification strategies. Through real-world examples and case studies, you'll learn how to innovate and optimize operations to achieve sustainable, organic growth.

The second presentation examines growth through mergers, acquisitions, and strategic alliances. It highlights the benefits and risks associated with inorganic growth, offering insights into how companies can rapidly expand their market reach, diversify their product lines, and gain new capabilities. Key examples illustrate the importance of due diligence and strategic integration in successful inorganic growth.
Collaborative Growth Strategies:
12th November 2024
The final presentation delves into the power of collaboration for driving growth. It discusses various types of collaborative strategies, including strategic partnerships, co-branding, and innovation through collaboration. The session emphasizes the role of collaborative ecosystems in enhancing resilience and innovation, with case studies that demonstrate how partnerships can create significant value and competitive advantage.
The new format means this series of Masterclasses will have fewer places available. To encourage commitment we are now charging £20 per session. However, we will continue to cover the costs of these sessions and all ticket revenue will be donated to the Norfolk Community Foundation. Refunds will not be given for cancellations or non-attendance but you will feel the warm glow of knowing your money has been spent on helping someone!
We will also be running regular webinars to explain what is happening in the world whenever something interesting, confusing or surprising comes along.
In person or online, we hope to see you soon.
