KEY EXECUTIVE PROGRAM
The EO Melbourne Key Executive Program (KEP) was founded to assist EO members in implementing growth strategies learnt from EO into their business with key management buy-in and participation. This program permits an EO member to have a key executive from their business participate in EO learning events and EO Accelerator learning events and become a member of a Key Executive Forum.
This program will help EO members communicate and learn jointly with their key executives, sharing the unique benefits of EO with their key executives from their businesses. Our mission is to empower and align EO members with their key executives and provide the tools, accountability, community and support to scale aggressively and master business best practices and become better leaders.
ANNUAL PROGRAM DELIVERABLES
Participation in 4 Business Growth Accelerator days (1 per quarter) taught by a highly experienced Gazelles certified coach (PEOPLE-EXECUTION-CASH-STRATEGY), based on the principles developed by Verne Harnish from his bestselling book Scaling Up, to catapult your business growth.
Delivered once per quarter, these training days will give you the tools and experience to grow your business. They are relevant for businesses with revenues of US$1 million to more than US$100 million.

GUIDELINES & COMMITMENT
To ensure the program fosters a high-performance culture, the Key Executive program has a maximum of 20 seats available in the Key Executive program in year 1.
EO members and executives must together have a basic understanding of the Scaling Up program and agree that the Executive has the mandate to implement the practices in the business.
Key Executive Program Members must attend all quarterly Scaling Up training sessions, which are full-day workshops. EO members are to provide executives with all the information required to undertake the training days effectively (e.g., profit and loss statements).
EO members are now able to register up to a total of two (2) executives to the EO Executive program.
Total of two Key Executive Forum groups of 8–10 persons each for the next 12 months.

Executives must commit to attending monthly forum sessions (3 hours).
Attending EO learning/speaker events is optional.

"I had a great experience as an EO member and got so much value out of Forum, I really wanted Lawrence to be part of that experience.
Being able to talk about his 5% issues without judgment in a safe environment, share experiences, learn heaps, and events and networking helped Lawrence understand the broader business community in Learning days and really cemented him as a leader.
The business has gone through a lot of challenges and first had have seen the effect Forum has had on being able to overcome them.”

"I heard great things about EO from Harry and other people about how much learning and insights you can gain from talking to like-minded business people owners and people with similar challenges ahead of them.
EO provides many workshops and communities that have helped our business in hard times.
Implementing EOS practices has helped restructure our org chart to be solid and more accountable.
The value of the KEP program is immense and I’d recommend it to any EO member to sign up their key execs."
LAWRENCE HITCHES

General Manager, StudioHawk
"I have been in the Key Executive Program for 2 years now. I have learned so much from every interaction I have had with both the group learning days and our individual forum. To start with, it is a great opportunity for me to step out of the business to learn things from the business strategy level rather than just day-to-day operations.
The importance of that is I get to experience what it feels like as a business owner seeing things from a bigger picture rather than just working within my own department. The alignment with the business owner is critical from that perspective."
