The Execution Edge is a non-profit growth programme designed to help ambitious business owners turn strategic goals into meaningful, measurable results.

We exist because too many leaders have ambition, opportunity, and ideas—but lack the time, structure, or support to turn those ideas into disciplined action.

Our approach combines practical, face-to-face development, proven frameworks, and expert mentorship, giving founders the clarity, confidence, and accountability needed to drive sustained business performance. We work with a small cohort of committed entrepreneurs, creating a focused environment where challenge, growth, and honest discussion lead to real transformation.

The programme is founded and co-created by Scott Smyth and Carol Foussat.

Scott founded, scaled and a exited a global professional services firm.

Carol runs the Business Growth Programme at Cranfield School of Management—ranked top in the UK for entrepreneurship and second in Europe.

Unlike commercial consultancy programmes, every aspect of The Execution Edge is designed to deliver impact - keeping focus firmly on helping leaders succeed.
