MORE than 100 local entrepreneurs, executives, and business leaders came together for the 40th session of GrowthCLUB, a quarterly planning forum hosted by ActionCOACH Guyana, marking the largest event in the initiative’s 10-year history.

Held at the Pegasus Exhibition Centre for the first time due to rising demand, the one-day session provided participants with the tools to build 90-day action plans focused on clarity, structure, and accountability. The event emphasised that in Guyana’s rapidly growing economy, intentional planning is vital for business success.

“GrowthCLUB is more than a workshop; it’s a discipline,” said Dr. Vishnu Doerga, Founder of ActionCOACH Guyana. “In this economy, you either drive the opportunity or get left behind. The entrepreneurs who are showing up each quarter are actively shaping their businesses to meet the moment.”

The milestone event was made possible through the support of corporate sponsors such as Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI), One Communications, NSBOmega Guyana Inc., Fusion Hospitality, and Dave’s Promotional Products, thus enabling more entrepreneurs to access critical planning resources.

GBTI’s CEO, Shawn Gurcharran, praised the initiative, stating: “GrowthCLUB has once again shown that structured, quarterly planning is not merely a business exercise, it’s a blueprint for capitalising on our thriving economy. At GBTI, we’re proud to help turn plans into performance.”

Representing One Communications, Hilton Wong, General Manager of Brava, underscored the importance of technology in scaling operations. “Our services ensure that companies here have the digital infrastructure to execute their strategies efficiently, effectively, and securely,” he said.

NSBOmega Guyana Inc.’s HR Manager, Safia Ally highlighted the link between strategic planning and workforce efficiency. “GrowthCLUB delivers the kind of business structure that allows for stronger human resource management and fewer disruptions,” she said.

Attendees from a diverse range of industries, including Floor It, Caribbean Medical Supplies, Guyana Port Inc., Target Customs Brokerage, ELGAWA Guyana, and Heliwrench Maintenance Solutions Inc., reported overwhelmingly positive feedback. Participants rated the session’s speakers, content, and overall experience at more than 4.5 out of 5, noting the event’s relevance and real-time applicability to their business challenges.

Dr. Doerga noted that the forum continues to serve as a space for reflection and recalibration amid the pressures of daily operations, giving businesses a tangible advantage in a competitive environment.

The next GrowthCLUB session is already scheduled for September 27, 2025, with expectations high for another impactful turnout.
