Claire Ruskin, the Network's CEO, says: "For more than a decade, Cambridge Network’s Learning Collaboration has been providing programmes for high-growth leaders to enable their teams to practise the skills required for scaling-up. Our School for Scale-Ups – now in its second year – builds on this pedigree, with a tailored suite of modules designed to help leaders and managers develop the complex set of skills they need to deal with the challenges they face.
"Sessions through the past year included formal training, heated group discussions and exercises. We made introductions to relevant people such as Lord Andrew Lansley on lessons in influencing, Jay Alphey on latest thinking in technical project delivery, and Andy Harter on picking a winning team.
"It is testament to the programme's value that, after over a year working together on their leadership experiences, the group plans to carry on meeting."
