How the BNZ Growth Academy works

BNZ Growth Academy can help you get clear on your goals, identify growth opportunities, and make confident decisions.

The workshops are run by our partner D/srupt, the strategy expert behind many successful New Zealand businesses.

Online workshops

You’ll join four live, two-hour online workshops. Each workshop builds on the last, so we recommend you attend all four.

Intuitive online tools

You’ll learn how to use D/srupt’s online tools. Between sessions, you can complete guided activities to apply what you’ve learned.

Workshops throughout the year

We run workshops at different times during the year, so you can choose dates that suit you. If you can’t commit right now, sign up to register your interest for a future BNZ Growth Academy.

Who should apply

BNZ Growth Academy is designed for small to medium business owners who want to gain clarity and confidence in making growth decisions.

The workshops are free to successful applicants. We’re looking for businesses that define themselves as:

  • a young company seeking to scale-up rapidly
  • an established business that hasn’t yet achieved its full growth potential, or
  • a well-established business looking for the next growth opportunity.

What to expect from the BNZ Growth Academy

By the end of the BNZ Growth Academy, you’ll have a clear understanding of your business’s current performance and value, along with the confidence to make bold growth decisions. You’ll identify key growth opportunities and gain insights into the resources needed to turn them into reality.  

For the next 12 months following your workshop, you’ll have access to D/srupt’s software platform, enabling you to revisit, refine and evolve your strategy as your business grows.
