Camp Information

Why attend a Global Business Camp?

Why do some businesses continue to thrive — generation after generation – while others struggle to stay afloat? The difference lies in focus, structure and strategy. Sustainable success isn’t luck; it’s the result of clear planning, systemised operations and the ability to adapt.

At Global Business Camps, we help you understand and implement these success factors over three immersive days — giving you the clarity, tools and mindset to build a business that lasts..

The facts speak for themselves
  • 88% of business failures are caused by factors within the owner’s control — not the economy or competition.
  • Over half of all SMEs operate without a strategic business plan, and 50% will undergo a generational ownership change within the next decade.
  • It costs six times more to attract a new customer than to encourage an existing one to buy again — yet most businesses still prioritise acquisition over retention.
  • Even a modest 15% increase in customer loyalty can lift profitability by up to 80%.
  • The right message matters: up to 90% of the success of any marketing campaign comes down to its headline or lead statement.
  • A fully systemised business can be worth more than 85% above a similar business without strong systems in place.
  • The cost of losing an employee can reach 150% of their total remuneration once lost productivity and retraining are factored in.

At the Camp, we unpack these insights and show you how to turn them into practical actions that drive real results. You’ll learn how to plan with purpose, lead with clarity and create a business that not only grows — but endures

challenges, and learn from the collective experience in the room.
Many participants say this peer-to-peer learning is one of the most valuable aspects of the Camp — sparking new ideas, partnerships and opportunities that continue long after the event ends.

Keynote speakers

There will be presentations throughout the 3-day camp from outstanding professional keynote speakers who will bring insights and valuable perspectives on how to improve your business and how you can continue to add value going forward.
