During our interactive workshop <strong>“The Crucial Steps (and Pitfalls) for Growth”</strong>, <strong>Lizanne Jakobs</strong>, founder of <strong>Brilliant Work</strong>, helped our startups and scale-ups explore exactly that question.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The balance between hard and soft</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lizanne emphasised that growth is not just about having a strong business plan, funding, or a great product. As your company evolves, for example when going to market or entering a new phase, the balance between the hard, tangible side of business and the softer, human side becomes increasingly important.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think strategy, structure and financial control, but also leadership, communication, decision-making and team dynamics. Both sides need continuous development as your organisation grows.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The building blocks of a solid company</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the session, participants worked with the core building blocks that every company needs. When and how these apply depends on:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>your industry</li>\n\n\n\n<li>your development phase</li>\n\n\n\n<li>the type and size of investors</li>\n\n\n\n<li>the clients and stakeholders you work with.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no one-size-fits-all roadmap. But there <em>is</em> a need for conscious reflection.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lizanne challenged participants with a practical assignment:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is already working well in your company?</li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the key areas you must strengthen in the coming year?</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because sustainable growth means building a solid foundation, not constantly solving urgent issues.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using subsidies to grow smarter</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An important part of the workshop was highlighting available subsidy schemes that support companies in strengthening business strategy and professional skills. These instruments can significantly accelerate professionalisation and structured growth.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We look back on a dynamic and hands-on session, filled with honest conversations and practical insights. Exactly what Briskr aims to offer: real tools for founders who are serious about scaling in health and high-tech.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you attended; Have you done your homework yet? </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have questions for Lizanne, feel free to contact her at <a>lizanne@brilliantwork.nl</a>. And of course, stay tuned for upcoming Briskr workshops designed to support your next growth phase.</p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you grow your company without losing balance, or ending up in constant firefighting mode?
