Experience Sharing

Experience sharing is unique because is led by established business owners who have “walked the path”. The sessions are led by quest speakers who share their knowledges for starting businesses, experiences and lessons learned, provide help to find the answers for challenges we are facing with, while providing specific professional advice from a community of entrepreneurs who have faced the same or similar business challenges. This concept is different from the specialized trainings, where the same are performed by consultants, trainers, and coaches.

Experience sharing works in a way that Business groups are formed according to stage of business growth and development in accordance with the Adizes methodology and the same, in our case, start from the Business group phase GROW but also comprises the phase PRO, that is, Business group phase PRO.

The general differences are that GROW phase covers companies with more than 5 employees, over 150K EUR of annual revenues and are older than 1 year on the market, while the PRO phase covers companies with more than 20 employees, over 500K EUR of annual revenues and are older than five years on the market.

The Business groups phase GROW & PRO are programs where combination of services within the Networking Platform and Learning platform is made, that is, experience sharing sessions and therefore they represent unique service in our country.

One of the most successful programs of our organization are successfully implemented 13 generations of the same, which are actually a group of businesses selected for the GROW phase due to their current state of growth and development.

The program includes 8 sessions of accelerated learning process, led by established business founders in a closed environment or circle of trust, limited to 25 participants per group, and everyone has the opportunity to share opinions, ask questions and exchange practices and solutions with each other.

Topics covered in this program are:

1. Leadership and questions to which every entrepreneur should have an answer to
2. Preparing the company for growth and development in a period of uncertainty
3. New trends for effective and repeated sales
4. Management of human resources which are less and less available
5. Finances for entrepreneurs and financial dashboard
6. Financing the development through equity and alternative sources of capital
7. New channels and innovations for effective marketing
8. Special topics: Acquisitions, mergers, and business exit strategies

The goal is to enable the entrepreneurs to define their path in the business development of their company: increase sales, build their brand and to organize themselves for the next phase of growth and development on a timely manner. Furthermore, to connect the entrepreneurs with new business contacts that will expand their business network locally and will create new opportunities internationally.

The same is intended for entrepreneurs who quickly progress and are set to manage companies regardless of their complexity and size, founders and managers of young companies, potential successors of family businesses (second generation), former corporative employees who become managers for the first time, but also entrepreneurs who manage large companies but still have the need for further education.
