Scaling smart: developing strategic and operational resilience for high-growth companies
Building a business that grows without breaking is one of the hardest things a founder can do - and in defence and dual-use markets, the stakes are even higher.
This business-focused workshop, delivered by Yellow Cat's Susie Braam, is designed specifically for companies navigating the unique commercial pressures of the defence ecosystem.
Susie brings deep experience helping high-growth companies build business models that are both ambitious and resilient. In this session, she'll work with you on the frameworks and strategic tools that separate companies that scale sustainably from those that plateau or fracture under pressure.
You'll leave with:
A clearer view of where your current business model is strong and where it's exposed
Practical strategies for scaling in response to market demand without losing operational integrity
Tools to improve resilience, capitalise on emerging opportunities, and position for long-term growth
