Local LEP ScaleUp Programmes
Scaleup initiatives are coordinated to fast-growth businesses through dedicated account management, a growth diagnostic, a mentoring network and peer-to-peer scaleup group as well as leadership and management development. The LEP has worked with John Moores University Business School to offer a dedicated ScaleUp MBA. The two-year course is divided into four phases: Accelerating Business Growth, Developing the Business for Scale, Leadership Strategies to Enable Growth and the Business Growth Project. The first year of the two-year programme was completed in 2019 with the scaling business leaders diagnosing areas for accelerated growth and creating plans for developing the business with scale. The third phase emphasises individual leadership and the importance of equipping other leaders within the organisation to enable growth and the final phase which brings the strands together into a significant project designed for the specific business.
A second partnership programme between the LEP and the Liverpool Business School – LCR Activate – is providing hands-on support and funding to help digital, creative and createch companies to scale.
