Collective support: a format with multiple benefits

Depending on what you need: strengthening skills, removing an organisational barrier, deepening a concept, or gaining insights from peers’ experiences, collective support offers a format with many benefits.

This is exactly what we have been offering at Scalechanger for over ten years. In addition to one-on-one support, we provide collective formats tailored to a wide range of groups.

To date, we have designed and run over 150 workshops for more than 3 000 individuals and organisations!

Our collective formats are aimed at a broad variety of actors:

• Associations, cooperatives, mission-driven businesses, NGOs, foundations, funders, or structures supporting entrepreneurship (support for leaders and/or their teams).
• Organisations that have won support programme grants and wish to equip and support project leaders.
• Public sector actors, local authorities, or institutional networks, supporting local or national initiatives.
• Students.

Explore our different collective formats

• Collective Support (in-person or virtual workshops): This collective support brings together various organisations (through entrepreneurial programmes, incubators, or others) and enables them to build skills on topics related to scaling their impact.
• Trainer, Facilitator or Professional Training: These training sessions help incubator/accelerator members or professionals supporting impact projects (foundations, funders, etc.) to better assess, understand, and support the scaling of the organisations they assist.
• Student and Executive Training: Programmes or training modules on topics related to entrepreneurship and scaling.
• Team Seminars: A unifying format that brings members of the same organisation together to advance on a key organisational issue (strategic plan, revamping the association’s project, etc.).
• Co-development Sessions: Sessions that leverage collective intelligence by bringing together several entrepreneurs facing similar challenges, enabling them to draw on their peers’ experiences to overcome obstacles.
• Mentoring Programme: Setting up, managing, and overseeing mentoring schemes as part of support programmes.

Our expertise is recognised and certified by Qualiopi, a French certification, which guarantees the quality of the training actions we deliver. As such, our training sessions are eligible for dedicated funding schemes.
