What is it that makes some companies succeed in scaling up and growing fast while others stand still, despite high ambitions? This course aims to give you practically useful insights and effective tools to scale your company up to a new level. The course, based on the Scaling Up methodology developed at MIT in Boston, is about how to develop a powerful growth strategy, bring your employees along and create an effective organisation with strong execution.
Scaling Up is a methodology developed by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs over the past 25 years. It was refined at MIT in Boston and spread internationally through the global entrepreneurs' network EO. The book Scaling Up, which describes the methodology, has sold 400 000 copies, and the methodology underpins more than 40 000 growth companies in 33 countries. The methodology is praised by entrepreneurs, leaders and employees alike for its powerful and clear effects on companies' development.
During this course you will learn to work according to this methodology.
COURSE MODULES:
Introduction to Scaling Up and what makes some companies succeed with growth
We go through the most important barriers to growth and how to overcome them, key success factors for scaling up and what determines a company's potential to grow.
The people and the organisation
It is essential to have employees who are proud and engaged, as a growth journey places great demands on the people in the organisation. You will review where your company stands today: whether you have the right person in the right place and whether they are doing the right things.
A powerful and customer-focused strategy
You are challenged to think in new ways and learn how to develop a powerful strategy that leads to a unique and valuable position in your industry. We also go through how to define your ideal customers and find out their needs, fears and decision processes. Great emphasis is placed on how to make the long-term strategy connect with the daily priorities of all employees.
Decisiveness in execution
How you can focus on establishing the effective processes, routines and ways of working that characterise the fastest-growing and best-run companies. You will work on identifying your most important priorities, key figures to follow progress and a meeting culture that gives strength and coordination throughout the organisation.

The organisation
Are all employees proud, happy and engaged in the company's overall purpose? Would you enthusiastically rehire all your employees today? A growth journey places great demands on the people in the organisation. Do you have the right people in the right places, and are they doing the right things at the right time? We take an honest look at where you stand today and which measures you need to implement and establish a winning ScaleUp culture in the company.
Strategy part 1: The foundation
In this part we go deeper into the 5 strategic decisions that every leader in dynamic growth must make: What is your level of ambition? Which arena do you play in? How do you win customers' trust and hearts? Which decisive strengths do you build your success on? What makes you scalable? We give you a 360-degree perspective to meet the challenges and opportunities in each growth phase.
Strategy part 2: Your strategic "sweet spot"
In this session you will learn to identify your "sweet spot" and get tools to evaluate, develop and formulate solutions in practice to the following challenges:
Which unique skills give you competitive advantages in a rapidly changing world
What strategically drives or limits your growth
Which differentiating activities you should focus on that lead to a sustainable long-term position
Your 10x factor
We give you the tools to evaluate, develop and formulate solutions to these challenges in practice, on the spot.
Execution
In this block we work on developing your most important priorities, key figures to follow progress and a structure of regular pulse meetings that maintains focus, strength and coordination throughout the organisation. With this way of working you can combine a high growth rate with effective processes that counteract excessive chaos and firefighting. A growth company with strong execution skills is characterised by profitability that far exceeds the industry average.
