Breakfast Briefing: Modernising for Value – Leveraging Modern Technology to Maximise Business Growth and Investor Confidence

Bonded Warehouse, Manchester, United Kingdom
Cost: Member

In today’s investment landscape, technology is a direct driver of value creation and commercial performance, yet it remains   one of the greatest sources of risk to long-term success.

Join Codurance, in partnership with pro-manchester, for a commercially focused breakfast briefing exploring how leveraging modern technology is crucial to creating measurable value, maximising business growth and boosting investor confidence.

 

Drawing on real-world experience with high-growth and investor-backed organisations, our speakers will explore:

How technical due diligence is shaping valuation as investors place greater emphasis on resilience, scalability, technology   maturity and risk exposure.

 

Why the first 100 days post-investment are critical for identifying commercial priorities, unlocking efficiencies, stabilising operations and building investor confidence.

 

How strengthening operational efficiency, reducing key-person dependence and accelerating go-to-market can create a   more scalable and revenue-ready organisation.

 

How stronger technology foundations improve decision-making, enhance data quality and create the conditions for innovation, including AI, when the commercial case is right.

 

This session is ideal for business leaders, technology leaders, operating partners and portfolio teams who want a clear, practical understanding of how modernisation directly drives growth, reduces risk and increases enterprise value.
