Move beyond business survival. Prepare for your next stage of growth.
The High-growth Entrepreneurship Roadmap© is a proprietary entrepreneurship framework created by Dr. Tamu Petra Browne , founder of Innovative Education and Training. It helps entrepreneurs connect their growth ambitions with entrepreneurial leadership, a stronger value proposition, business capabilities, and relevant ecosystem support.
Originally created for women entrepreneurs, the framework is relevant to growth-oriented entrepreneurs of any gender. It recognizes that growing a business involves both the entrepreneur’s personal context and the systems, decisions, and relationships that support the business.
The focus is practical: understand what growth requires, identify what needs to change, and plan your next steps.

What is the High-growth Entrepreneurship Roadmap©?
The roadmap brings the entrepreneur, the business, and the surrounding support ecosystem into the same conversation.
It connects entrepreneurial identity and wellbeing with business positioning, financial decisions, team development, technology, processes, sustainability, mentorship, and networks. These considerations help entrepreneurs identify the capabilities and conditions their businesses need to pursue expansion.
The roadmap is the framework. The workshop helps participants apply it to their own business situation, revisit their value proposition, and develop a practical action plan.
Why Dr. Tamu Petra Browne created the roadmap
Through her work with entrepreneurs, particularly in the Caribbean, Dr. Browne observed that much of the entrepreneurship conversation focused on small and micro businesses. Some founders wanted to pursue high-growth ventures and wider market reach, but she saw a need for a clearer roadmap to support those ambitions.
She also wanted an approach that recognized women entrepreneurs’ experiences, responsibilities, and trade-offs. She developed the framework by bringing together her practitioner experience and doctoral research.
Its women-focused origin remains important. Its application is broader: entrepreneurs of any gender can benefit from examining their growth ambitions, business readiness, and support needs.

What makes the roadmap different?
A focus on growth beyond survival
The framework is designed for entrepreneurs who want to look beyond keeping a business operating and consider what a more scalable enterprise requires.
The workshop helps participants distinguish incremental micro/small-business growth from strategies intended to support high-growth entrepreneurship. The aim is a more deliberate approach to expansion, not a guarantee of rapid results.
A holistic approach to entrepreneurial development
Your entrepreneurial journey is not limited to business alone.
The roadmap brings mindset, wellbeing, personal support, and trade-offs into the growth conversation. It connects these considerations with leadership responsibilities and business decisions, rather than treating personal development and business strategy as unrelated concerns.
Practitioner experience connected with research
The High-growth Entrepreneurship Roadmap© draws on Dr. Browne’s entrepreneurship-development experience and doctoral research. It provides a structure for examining real business challenges and identifying practical priorities.
Experience informs the framework. Application and evidence determine what progress follows in a particular business.
Learning connected to business decisions and action
The workshop goes beyond discussing ambition. Participants examine their positioning, identify growth priorities, and develop concrete next steps.
This connects entrepreneurial learning with practical choices about the business and the support it needs.
What you will work on in the workshop
The three-hour workshop combines discussion, applied reflection, and planning. Participants work towards:
- Understanding high-growth entrepreneurship and how it differs from incremental small-business growth.
- Examining entrepreneurial leadership identity and the personal context that can influence growth decisions.
- Revising their value proposition, including their target audience, offering, and market reach.
- Identifying business capabilities and support needs relevant to their next stage of development.
- Creating a concise, time-bound action plan and applying networking fundamentals.
These are learning and planning outcomes. Sustained progress depends on implementation, resources, market conditions, and relevant support beyond the workshop.
Who can benefit?
Entrepreneurs of any gender seeking to move from solopreneurship or micro/small enterprise towards high-growth entrepreneurship.
Product and professional-service founders who want to reconsider their positioning, strengthen growth readiness, and identify practical next steps.
Business-support organizations, governments, NGOs, educational institutions, incubators, and accelerators seeking to connect entrepreneur development with business needs and appropriate support.
The framework is not restricted to the creative industries. Its relevance depends on the entrepreneur’s growth ambitions and development needs, not gender or a single business sector.
For organizations supporting entrepreneurship
The High-growth Entrepreneurship Roadmap© can form part of a wider entrepreneurship-development initiative. It gives participants a structured way to examine their business direction, identify priorities, and plan action.
For programme sponsors, the value is the connection between learning and application. A wider programme can support follow-through through appropriate mentorship, referrals, or other resources. The workshop does not replace those enabling conditions.
Within Innovative Education and Training, this framework contributes to entrepreneurial capacity development and complements our entrepreneurship ecosystem development services . Those services address institutional needs such as ecosystem strategy, incubator and accelerator architecture, and partnership development.

From learning to the capacity for growth
Knowledge becomes useful when it informs decisions and changes what happens in practice.
The framework reflects Innovative Education and Training’s approach to capacity development: connect learning with real challenges, strengthen the ability to act, and recognize the systems and relationships that can enable progress.
A stronger entrepreneurial identity and better understanding of growth can inform revised business decisions. Those decisions guide practical action and more purposeful use of ecosystem support.
This is the connection to IET’s wider transformation practice across leadership and governance, strategic re-engineering, and entrepreneurship ecosystem development. Entrepreneur-level learning is one contribution to change, not a substitute for the implementation and institutional support needed to sustain it.
