Posted: Mon 2nd Mar 2026
For small businesses, most growth-related challenges aren't caused by a lack of effort, but a lack of clarity.
In this practical session, business growth consultant Marinda Malan introduces a simple but powerful framework: Growth = (What + Who) + Why + How.
You'll learn how to sharpen your proposition, define your ideal customer precisely, articulate how your business can set itself apart and deliver value consistently.
Whether your revenue has plateaued or you're preparing to scale, this session will help you make better commercial decisions and build more predictable growth.
