Workshop The Scale-up Blueprint with Tony de Bree

Many startups encounter 'growing pains' specifically when they reach the '2nd wall' between the Validation and Growth phases. Founders want to grow their business, but at the same time to be careful that they do not suffer from organizational issues and create a 'slow' and 'fat' organization.

The Scale-up Blueprint helps overcome these problems !!

How do you change and professionalise your organization as quickly and as intelligently as possible with the help of IT and the right partners, while not losing sight of customer's needs?

Which tools and methods are available specifically for growing start-ups?

The Scale-up Blueprint by Tony de Bree is the result of various collaborations with CEOs of successful Dutch startups, scale-ups, and investors, and includes several co-produced scale-up canvasses. Together, a 3-step scale-up approach was designed and tested for successful startups with a structured and planned scale-up change management plan, including a holistic scale-up change model from start-up to scale-up.

Who This Workshop is For?

This workshop is relevant for founders or startups ready to grow and scale successfully. You will learn what hurdles successful startups face after overcoming the 'first wall' between Startup and Validation and how they are able to innovate their business models accordingly. Tony will share with us examples of how redesigned and implemented organizational changes, and the scale-up Blueprint and the newly developed and co-produced scale-up canvasses. There will be hands-on activities for the first step of the Blueprint Blueprint Canvas and Blueprint Canvas ©.

These tasks will help you organize, grow, scale your business, and beat the competition.

About Tony de Bree

Dr. Tony de Bree PhD has worked 26 years in the Financial Services sector serving corporate and private clients, SMEs, startups & scale-ups worldwide. Since 1997, he’s been in corporate venturing and entrepreneurial financing, selecting, advising, training and coaching startups and scale-ups across industries.

From the very start of the 1st internet bubble, Tony de Bree recognized that most startups struggled to overcome the ‘1st wall’ which would take them from the Startup to the Validation Phase. The companies that do succeed and make it over this hurdle then run into organizational 'growing-pains’ which prevented them from growing and scaling successfully either nationally or internationally. During this time, he also concluded that the existing models and tools like ‘Lean’, ‘Agile’ and ‘Business Model Canvas (BMC)’ were not suitable for startups and scale-ups, nor for consultants, trainers and coaches helping these startups and scale-ups. Instead they were designed by and for large traditional organizations. These experiences resulted in co-designing and producing new tools and new canvasses now found in the ‘The scale-up Blueprint’.
