Building Culture in a Scale Up

Company culture changes in the shift from startup to scaleup – and as the company moves and incorporates different people profiles and roles, culture becomes increasingly vital in ensuring that everyone understand the company´s mission, values, strategy, and objectives.

This course will help you get that crucial culture piece within your scaleup right. You´ll discover the role (and relationship between) the company founder and the company culture in ensuring a successful transition to scaleup, gain insights on how and why to build and foster diverse teams, and understand the critical importance of corporate governance structures so you can implement the structures that make sense for your organization. Culture can be your company´s superpower, and with this course, you´ll be able to build and maintain the company culture that will bolster your company through the scaleup phase – and beyond.

Scale Up Specialization Capstone

This Capstone course is aimed at learners who have experience of working in a startup and want to scale up their business and want to bring together what they have learned in the three previous courses on scaling up a startup (Scale Up Your Startup, Scaling Product and Processes, and Building Culture in a Scaleup).

Through the Capstone Project, you´ll showcase your understanding of the key issues a scaleup faces and how to overcome these issues and challenges - from the initial moment when scaling up becomes a possibility, through transitions in product and processes, to the creation of a strong, effective, and resilient company culture that will last. For the project, you´ll profile a company and go in depth to find out how that company scaled, producing a polished and comprehensive piece of writing that demonstrates your understanding of the scaleup journey. After completing this Capstone project, you will have developed insights into why companies scale up, how they plan for the scaleup phase, how they scale up product and processes, how they adapt their sales and marketing strategies, how operations are affected, and how they build and maintain a productive, effective and diverse company culture through the scaleup phase.
