12 Playbooks To Transform Your Business and Accelerate Growth

You are invited to My Little Black of Value Creators - a 12 part series of talks for ambitious business owners/execs given by experts hand picked by me, Graham Roberts.

12 Transformative Playbooks Hosted by the SME Growth Cohort

Graham's SME Growth Cohort has been packed full of useful takeaways, relevant to any forward-thinking business owner. As the founder of a new tech startup, it was great to be able to ask direct questions and learn from the experience of not just Graham, but the other members of the cohort too. From introductions, to tech knowledge and strategy, these sessions are an absolute must for any SME business owner that is keen to learn how to do things better than they already are. Would definitely recommend!

-- Tom Dalton, Stealth Startup

The SME Growth Cohort was created by Graham Roberts in September 2024. Members meet online each week to hear Graham share the playbooks he uses to transform businesses to accelerate their growth and to give business owners/execs a space to ask questions about tech strategy, tech adoption, innovation, AI automation and more.

But that's not all, the connections made between group members open up opportunities and inspire others to take bold action.

Adding My Little Black Book of Value Creators to the SME Growth Cohort will take the value of the cohort to a whole new level.

The SME Growth Cohort is a fantastic platform for business owners and leaders to learn how to leverage technology to drive growth. Graham brings a wealth of experience and ensures that the discussions are well-structured and insightful. The cohort creates a supportive environment for networking, allowing you to connect with other business leaders, ask questions, and share advice from your own experiences. It’s also a great opportunity to build valuable relationships that can lead to referrals and collaboration. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in the cohort and highly recommend it to any business owner looking to grow and scale.

I have worked with Graham since 2016 in what started as a technology advisor role. Our team quickly learned that he brought invaluable business acumen. Whether it has been technical mentorship, establishing processes, hiring freelancers, adopting AI or exploring the intersection of business and technology, Graham's input has been a critical part of unlocking our growth. Joining his Growth Cohort would be time and money well spent.
