What we are seeing
Growth is getting harder
Markets are changing faster than operating models. Buying journeys are longer. Sales cycles are more complex. AI is changing how buyers evaluate suppliers, while traditional demand generation is producing diminishing returns.
Why the Growth Forum Exists
Most commercial leaders have inherited systems, teams and processes that evolved over time rather than being deliberately designed.
The Growth Forum exists to help commercial leaders think differently about growth before they need to react to it. It provides a space where these leaders can speak openly with peers who understand their context, away from sales pitches, theory, or competitive pressure.
“The discussion completely changed how we thought about commercial alignment.”
Emma McGhin, CMO, Simpson Associates.
Themes we are exploring
- Commercial Strategy
- AI
- Revenue operations
- Commercial leadership
- Positioning
- Demand generation
- Measurement
What makes this Forum different
- Peer discussion – No sales pitches and no suppliers selling from a stage.
- Chatham House Rule – Honest informal discussion between executives facing similar challenges.
- Practical thinking – Ideas you can apply in your own business next week.
- Shared learning – MSPs, SAAS, Data, Infrastructure and Security business sharing experiences.

From Conversation to Action
The themes emerging from the Growth Forum continually shape the ReStrategy Growth Platform, our research, articles and client work.
It is one of the ways we ensure our thinking reflects what commercial leaders are experiencing today, not what worked five years ago.

The Forum Sessions

ReStrategy provides clear strategic direction across CRM, content, websites and campaigns.
A typical Session
The Growth Forum is a relaxed, highly interactive afternoon for senior commercial leaders. We begin with coffee and introductions before exploring a couple of thought-provoking growth challenges that sets the tone for the discussion.
Small-group conversation allows everyone to share experiences and challenge assumptions, with facilitators prompting the discussion and ensuring every voice is heard. We compare perspectives, identify common themes and uncover practical ideas that people can take back into their own organisations.
The afternoon naturally gives way to drinks and dinner, where conversations continue, relationships develop and many of the most valuable insights are exchanged in an informal setting.
Beyond the Forum
Where shared needs emerge, such as training, mentoring for other team members or strengthening the Growth Platform, we can pick this up outside the forum.
- Frequency: There are four in-person meetings per year.
- Timing: 2.00pm until 5.00pm – discussion followed by informal drinks and dinner for those that want it (no obligation).
- Location: TBC but typically central London close to major stations.
- Fees: There will be a small annual fee to cover venue and refreshments. This is split equally between the participants.
