More companies die of indigestion than starvation. - Andy Grove

Are you a leader of a growing mid-market firm?

Join Verne Harnish and his experienced team for 2.5 days of executive education in Denver!

After 3 years of trying, John Ratliff was finally able to get his leadership team to implement the Scaling Up methods after only 2 hours of them attending Verne’s 2-day intensive workshop. Hear his story in the video above! 

The Scaling Up Performance Platform has helped the leadership teams of over 70,000 scaleups through a set of tools/techniques that address the 4 decisions in scaling a business: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash – based on the book Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It…and the Rest Don’t with almost a half-million copies in print across 17 languages. 

This multi-award-winning global summit offered to YPO exclusively has been honed over two decades and we’re now giving scaleups everywhere this complete solution – a combination of assessments, learning, coaching, and software to help you manage the chaos that comes with scale. It’s a highly interactive workshop with teams seated at roundtables to facilitate discussions and decision-making.

Voted the "Best Business Educational Event" in YPO

… and hosted in over 40 other cities worldwide.
