SUMMARY:Scaling Profitability and Productivity (Hybrid Course)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Yohaan Thommy\, LSSBB\, PMP\, CMC\, Partner\, MNP​ \nMany businesses achieve early success through hustle and product-market fit—but as they scale\, hidden inefficiencies creep in. Revenue grows\, yet profit margins shrink. Teams expand\, but productivity stalls. Leaders are left asking: “Why isn’t our growth translating into real results?” In this interactive session\, we’ll uncover the two silent killers of sustainable scale—profitability leaks and productivity drag—and equip you with the tools to diagnose\, fix\, and prevent them.​ \nKey Learning Areas: \n\nProfit-First Scaling – Why revenue growth ≠ profit growth\, and how to align your business model for both.​\nFinding (and Fixing) Profit Leaks – The hidden culprits eroding margins: untracked unit economics\, bloated teams\, and misaligned spending.​\nThe 30% Productivity Drain – How unclear roles\, meeting overload\, and weak systems sabotage output—and how top companies avoid it.​\nSolving the Talent Bottleneck – Why hiring more isn’t always the answer—and how to bridge capability gaps.​\nProcess & Tech That Enable Scale – Streamlining operations without bureaucracy: tools that add structure\, not red tape.​\nLessons from the Frontlines – Real-world case studies of businesses that scaled profitably (and those that crashed from complexity).​\n\n\n👥 Ideal Audience: CEOs of growth-stage companies; operations leaders; owner-managers. \n📅 WHEN: April 1\, 2026 | 🕘 10AM – 11:30AM (EST) ​\n📍 WHERE: ECAO Office (Etobicoke) and Virtual on Zoom​\n💵 COST: $99 incl. tax (includes session materials\, parking & meal for in-person attendees) \n\n​Course Format: This hybrid training offers flexible participation—attend in person at the ECAO office or join virtually via Zoom.
