A premium, half-day boardroom for founders who are serious about growing in 2027. Review the year honestly, confront what is really holding the business back, and build your plan with AI and a room of founders who will hold you to it.
Build your 2027 with AI, and the senior leadership team you've never had.


Free to attend. Places strictly limited to keep the room intimate.

Another year of good intentions. A plan made in January that quietly slipped by March. A business that grew, but still runs through you, and a nagging sense that next year needs to be different.
You already know what the problem is not. It is not effort. You have worked hard all year.
It is that you have never had the time, the structure, or the right people around the table to think properly about where this business is actually going.
That is what this morning is for.

The boardroom · The Park Royal, Warrington · Friday 20 November 2026
It is a working boardroom. A small room of founders at the same stage, a senior commercial chair, and AI used to turn honest conversation into a finished plan.
The senior leadership team most founders have never had. People on the same journey who will challenge you, not flatter you, and hold you to what you commit to.
Not theory, and not a tool tour. You build your 2027 plan live, with AI doing the heavy lifting, so you leave with something real rather than a page of notes.
A full plan for next year, costed and ready to implement, built in four hours. No hiding, no drift, no waiting until January to start.
Human conversation sets up every part of the day. AI accelerates it.
Put your year on the table using real numbers. What grew, what stalled, and what you said you would do and did not. AI then structures it and surfaces the patterns you have been avoiding.
Name the one real constraint on your growth, and be challenged on it by the room. What have you actually done about it, and what are you going to do.
See how to grow in 2027 with systems rather than headcount, with a live demonstration that turns one founder's year into a plan in minutes.
Hands on your own keyboard. Quarterly priorities, the bottleneck addressed head on, and a number against every action so it can be held to account.
Leave with your plan, and with the room holding you to it.
Lunch and conversation to follow.

Marie Piercy
Founder, Fusion Growth · Fractional CCO
The 2027 Boardroom is chaired by Marie Piercy, founder of Fusion Growth and a Fractional Chief Commercial Officer to founder-led businesses at the point of growth.
This is a board table, not a workshop. You will be supported. You will also be challenged, which is the point.


Because the best way to show you what this room does is to put you in it.
The places are capped on purpose. The value comes from a small room of the right founders, not a hall full of the wrong ones. That is why it is by request, and why it will fill quickly.
There is nothing to pay and nothing to prepare beyond your own numbers. You are telling us you want a seat.
