The new partnership model for growth

21st April 2026

09:00 - 14:00

St Martin in the Fields, Trafalgar Square, London WC2N 4JJ

Fractional C-suite solutions, peer networks and partner ecosystems are helping ambitious SMEs to scale more profitably; but how can busy business leaders capitalise on this new model of growth to access the right help at the right time?

According to the Scale Up Institute’s 2025 Annual Report, access to leadership, talent & finance are the biggest barriers to growth and new solutions are making all three more affordable. This Forum will present insights on how to unlock growth, increase profitability, create value and build resilience with partners.

Join this interactive half-day event designed around your biggest challenges and growth opportunities. Expert panels & roundtable discussions will provide insight & advice on…

·        Identifying leadership gaps that hinder growth or de-rail investment

·        Evolving fractional C-suite models, services & expectations

·        Building capability with fractional leaders for investment, scale and M&A

·        Maximising cashflow, funding & investment for more profitable growth

·        Winning more of the right clients & increasing customer value

·        Making talent work smarter & technology work harder
