Chadwicks Masterclass - The Sounding Board

Staying Ahead

22 September 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: Innovation Culture
Markets shift, customer expectations change and new technology keeps raising the bar. The businesses that hold and grow their value are the ones that keep adapting. A culture of innovation isn’t just about big ideas. It’s about encouraging your people to spot opportunities, try new approaches and keep improving. Buyers and investors see that as a sign of a business with a future.

Join us on Wednesday 22nd September for time away from the day-to-day as we explore how to build a culture that keeps your business relevant, adaptable and growing.

We’ll look at:

• Why innovation matters to buyers and investors, and how it affects value
• Creating an environment where your team feels confident to share ideas and challenge the status quo
• Balancing new opportunities with the core of what makes your business successful
• Practical steps to embed continuous improvement and fresh thinking across your business

You’ll hear from a guest speaker who has helped businesses build a culture of innovation, 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.
