Chadwicks Masterclass - The Sounding Board

Leading with Clarity

17 November 2027, 4pm - 6pm, In person

The Enterprise Centre, UEA, Norwich, NR4 7TJ

Exclusively for company directors, business owners and entrepreneurs who want to reflect and plan with purpose.

For business leaders who like to think out loud. In small, closed groups, you’ll test ideas and gain perspective alongside peers who understand the challenges you face.

These sessions are part of our Value Acceleration Programme, which helps owners build a more valuable business that relies less on them and is ready for whatever comes next. Across the year, each session focuses on one of the programme’s five pillars: Quality of Earnings, Owner Dependence, Strength of the Management Team, Innovation Culture, and Governance & Decision-Making.

This session: Governance & Decision-Making
As a business grows, the way decisions are made needs to grow with it. Clear structures, defined responsibilities and good governance give your team the confidence to act and give buyers, investors and successors confidence in the business. Good governance isn’t about red tape. It’s about making better decisions, more consistently, with the right people involved.

Join us on Wednesday 17th November for time away from the day-to-day as we explore how strong governance and clear decision-making build lasting value. As the final session of the year, we’ll also reflect on all five pillars and what they mean for designing your exit.

We’ll look at:

• What good governance looks like in an owner-managed business, and why it affects value
• Putting the right structures, roles and accountability in place
• How to make better, faster decisions and involve the right people
• Bringing the five pillars together to plan your next steps and your future exit

You’ll hear from a guest speaker who has helped businesses strengthen their governance and decision-making, and from fellow business owners who have faced similar challenges. Bring your own questions. The conversation is open, and the best insights often come from the group.

Led by our team, each session blends professional insight with peer-to-peer exchange. From refining your focus to designing your exit, you’ll learn what successful owners do to create lasting value and enjoy the rewards of their work.

As a learning organisation, we’re passionate about sharing knowledge. We create an environment that feels energising rather than overwhelming, and that nurtures curiosity and connection among like-minded people.
