Digitisation: the secret to scaling your business?

Growth Lab: Digitisation: the secret to scaling your business

Growth Lab: Darlington is a series of workshops aimed at making business growth easier to understand and achieve. Each month, we’ll demystify a different topic by translating business terminology into straightforward language to reveal the real opportunities awaiting your business.

Join us the first Thursday of every month at Innovation Central to uncover powerful tactics, meet local businesspeople who’ve tried and tested them and explore the difference they could make to your own growth.

Digitisation: the secret to scaling your business

Digitising your business means more than going paperless. Its impact can be much greater than simply solving day-to-day problems too.

For some organisations, the conversion of analogue information to digital format opens up new styles of working and innovation that allow significant growth in revenue without major expense. Could digitisation be the secret to scaling your business?

What I’ve learned about digitisation

Mel Coutts, Director, Recruitrite

Mel has built her recruitment business from the ground up, using her experience of the negative side of the industry to develop a client-focused approach and a strong company culture. Digitised processes not only allow her team to spend more time speaking to clients and less time filling in forms, but have also led to the super-fast, organic growth of the business.

In this frank and honest conversation with Growth Strategist Graham Robson, Mel will open up about her experience of digitisation, the endless possibilities it presents her business and what she’d do differently in future. She’ll share the challenges she’s overcome so far on her own growth journey to help you on yours.

“Digitisation is not just about making life easier for your team and customers; it can also be about making a huge difference to the bottom line. In this session, we’ll hear how Mel’s ‘pretty painless’ experience of digitising processes to align with her client-focused approach has rewarded the business with impressive opportunities to scale.”

Format

Fuel up first with a bit of breakfast before the main event, facilitated by Graham Robson and Debbie Simpson. Afterwards, there’s a chance to network and meet others who can support your growth with information and opportunities.

The Growth Lab programme covers 6 growth tactics in 6 months. Each guest speaker will explore one or more of these topics at each event.

“It’s so important to keep learning when you’re in business. These events are a great way to explore topics that could bring big benefits by helping you to stay ahead of the curve, spot new opportunities and expand your network. If you’re keen to grow, we’ll connect you to peers, people and projects that can help.”
