Developing amazing businesses and people.

Empowering leaders to grow better businesses, faster.

This is intelligent growth.

Growth that develops leaders, people and businesses equally.

Growth that fuses and embeds unique values, qualities and style of organisations.

Growth that creates great environments that people love working in.

Growth that ensures high service levels that keeps customers coming back.

Growth that’s sustainable and fit for purpose, in ever-changing markets.

On a mission to help leaders to grow better businesses.

“I don’t believe that business leaders should have to choose between a quality business and business growth; between high profits and people loving it; or between achieving their vision and settling for less.”

Denise Walker - Founder & MD

Growth Scorecard.

Business growth products.

There are many factors to growing businesses successfully. Rather than attempting to cover everything at once, we’ve broken it down into three tried and tested pillars that have the greatest impact on growth:

  • Vision & values.

  • Customer & standards.

  • Talent & culture.

Your personalised business growth scorecard highlights your high, medium and low strengths in each pillar, plus top line insights and actionable suggestions that you can implement straight away.

  • Operational platform was fundamental to one firm concept, premium value and business sale.

    “We created a 'one firm' concept and management felt more confident in training new joiners, with the operational platform to base their training and management on. Training and performance improved and became much more consistent. New joiners on average were profitable 5 months quicker than had been historically the case. Profitability improved by 20% in the first year; when we sold the business, fundamental in this sale was our profits growth and the operational platform. These promoted confidence in our ability to leverage the business dynamically, growing scale and profits at the same time.”

    Founder CEO, global recruitment firm.

  • Values and sales habits embedded into the fabric of the business.

    “Everything we do is based on our cultural values and standards for excellence frameworks, all of which are now embedded in the fabric of our business, and more recently into our existing technology. The team were excited to be working together, to learn and grow as individuals and in their teams. Business development has gone from non-existent to also being part of the fabric of the business. Our fill rate, which was already high, is now 90%.”

  • Professional support and coaching through tricky situations.

    “I can imagine weeks like the one I’ve just had would be very difficult without the professional support and coaching I have. You are a massive part of me being able to see the learning and growth in tricky situations. Thank you, I appreciate and value having you in my corner.”

  • Leadership course created a golden thread of self-development through our business.

    “Having our team complete the Practical Leadership and Management course acts as a golden thread through our business, enabling mid-level managers to coach and develop each other. We have seen an increase in confidence and standard of delivery across all our leaders.”

Embedding operational brilliance.

Consultancy services.

Defining operational activities and processes, and aligning them with core values, creates a culture based on shared ethos and genuine teamwork. This makes it easy for people to excel in their role every day.

Our Growth Framework empowers senior leaders to:

  • Create high quality bespoke content for their 3 pillars of growth.

  • Reflect these onto their systems (whether technical or manual), enabling everyone to apply them, ongoing.

  • Use them to communicate and coach everyone in the business, lifting motivation and performance levels right across the organisation, as they go.

Creating the vision.

Consultancy services.

Intelligent growth demands a clear shared purpose, that inspires everyone.

Our vision planning process empowers senior leaders to:

  • Explore and vigorously test ambitious goals and ideas.

  • Hone these into a practical strategy to achieve the vision.

  • Create a company-wide sense of excitement and confidence that it can be achieved.

It’s a thorough process requiring focused effort. But the reward is a crystal clear path to success that everyone buys into.

Developing leaders.

Leadership development.

Intelligent Growth demands strong people skills and ability to create high performing teams that naturally replicate success.

Our intensive practical leadership and management development and coaching programmes inspire leaders to work together to:

  • Create, nurture and protect their organisational culture, whilst achieving their vision.

  • Understand, adopt and hone methods of maximising potential in themselves, their people and their business.

  • Create a high performing, self-learning environment, with constructive feedback and coaching at its core.
