THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu CBE#scaleup


Definition

A ‘scale-up’ is an enterprise with average annual growth in employees or turnover greater than 20 per cent per annum over a three year period, and with more than 10 employees at the beginning of the period



Start-ups are not SCALE-UPS

Any size*

Any age

Any sector

Any region



We are doing very well on Start-ups...


But we are doing less well at growing them (!)

● The UK has a lower share of large businesses than the US.

● Large firms with more than 250 employees account for 0.5 per cent of firms in the UK but 0.7 per cent in the US.

● This lack of ‘scale up’ means the economy as a whole loses on productivity and growth.

THERE IS A SCALE-UP GAP

The Scale-Up Skills Briefing #scaleup Sherry Coutu CBE

SCALE-UPS ARE NOT START-UPS

that focus on creating companies, it goes to

nations that focus on scaling companies.”

“This report makes a compelling case for getting behind the UK’s high growth ‘scale-ups’ and I hope all political parties seriously consider its recommendations.

These firms are already having a transformational impact, we just need more of them to grow.

Helping them access the talent they need, develop their leadership and access new markets are the priorities.”

John Cridland,Director-GeneralCBI


These recommendations focus on steps that can enable and leverage local networks and provide them with actionable insights to mobilize collective action; the mind-set is one of using existing resources more effectively, not just providing more support.

Michael Porter, Harvard Business School



“Economic growth doesn’t happen in LEPS that

focus on startups or large companies, it goes to

those that focus on scaling companies.”



“This report is a welcome contribution in the context of Greater Manchester’s recent devolution deal with Government and will support us as we look to deliver targeted business support to our local high growth firms.”

Mike Blackburn Chair of Greater Manchester LEP

THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF ‘OPEN POSITIONS’

These open positions present a productivity problem because the businesses are turning away customer orders because they can’t get the staff….

THE SKILLS GAP IS SET TO GET LARGER….

Job Creation is linked to companies that are high growth (2015)

In the UK, HGSBs created the equivalent of approx. 4,500

new jobs every week

Edmodo, a safe platform where teachers and students can collaborate, share content, and leverage educational apps to augment in-classroom learning

Edmodo is interesting because of the way it has molded social into a shape that suits education at the K-12 level: as a free service that's teacher-friendly and easy for school districts to adopt, typically after they find out their teachers are already using it.

Using Edmodo, teachers invite students into private groups that can be used for online classroom discussions, but in a format that keeps the teacher firmly in control.
