The Growth Catalyst Program spans ten in-person, 8-hour module delivery days over seven months.

Many successful alumni continue these meetings beyond the program, using them to maintain a strategic focus beyond daily operations.

The program equips leaders with the tools to align their teams, sustain innovation, and achieve measurable success. Our focus is on real-world solutions that empower businesses to create and implement precise growth strategies.

What is the curriculum?

The curriculum is built around the 7 Scaling Strategies™, each with a dedicated module. These modules cover critical areas such as purpose and vision, leadership, customer profiles, innovation, sales and marketing, operations, and financial health. Together, they provide a comprehensive roadmap for sustainable business growth.

Who supports the program?

Growth Catalyst is proudly supported by Mount Royal University’s Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, with additional backing from TD Ready Commitment Foundation, Alberta Innovates, and the Government of Canada through PrairiesCan.
