Applications Now Open: Spread and Scale Academy
Do you have an innovation or solution that’s working well in one place and could make a difference elsewhere?
The Spread & Scale Academy is now accepting applications for its next cohort. This dynamic programme is designed to support teams with a proven solution to spread their impact further, faster, and with greater confidence.
What is it?
A three-day, immersive learning experience delivered by the Dragon’s Heart Institute. It comes with expert support and practical tools for scaling innovation. It’s more than training; it’s a springboard for change.
