Kasvuryhmä on voittoa tavoittelematon yhdistys, jonka tarkoitus on kiihdyttää keskisuurten yritysten kestävää kasvua, uudistumista ja kansainvälistymistä.
Kasvuryhmän jäsenet ovat 10M€-1Mrd€ vaihtavien yritysten toimitusjohtajia, hallitusten puheenjohtajia, omistajia ja yritystensä merkittävistä kasvuhankkeista vastaavia johtajia, joilla on kunnianhimoa kasvattaa ja uudistaa omaa liiketoimintaansa kestävästi. Kasvuryhmässä he keskustelevat vertaistensa kanssa avoimesti ja luottamuksellisesti itselleen ja yrityksilleen tärkeistä kasvun teemoista jakaen kokemuksia. Kasvuryhmän toiminta perustuu näihin ohjattuihin vertaiskeskusteluihin, joissa kokoonnutaan systemaattisesti yhteen edistämään ja seuraamaan omia kasvutavoitteita ja oppimaan muiden kokemuksista. Yhteisössä jaettu kasvutahto ja rohkeat teot edistävät koko Suomen kestävää kasvua.
Kasvuryhmä perustettiin vuonna 2015 luomaan keskisuuriin yrityksiin kasvutahtoa ja uudenlaista yhdessä oppimisen kulttuuria, jotta yrityksillä ja Suomella on edellytyksiä menestyä myös tulevaisuudessa. Perustajissa on yritysmaailman tunnettuja nimiä, kuten Mika Anttonen, Aaro Cantell, Matti Alahuhta ja Ilkka Paananen. Nyt Kasvuryhmään kuuluu n. 250 kasvuhakuista keskisuurta yritystä ja 260 kasvujohtajaa.
Suomessa keskisuuria yrityksiä (liikevaihto yli 10M€) on vain 1% Suomen kaikista yrityksistä, mutta ne tuovat lähes neljäsosan suomalaisten yritysten liikevaihdosta ja yli 20 % yksityisen sektorin työpaikoista.
Kasvuryhmä on yhteisö, jossa on lupa tavoitella isosti tulevaisuuskestävää kasvua, kysyä ja oppia muilta ja olla ylpeä kaikkien menestyksestä.
Tervetuloa mukaan!
