Beyond Business - Built to Last

Presented by OneAZ Credit Union, the Official Local Financial Partner of State Forty Eight Foundation, and the Arizona Lottery, in collaboration with SRP. 

Beyond Business: Built to Last
Systems & Scaling Without Breaking the Business

Growth is supposed to be the goal, but why does it break so many businesses? More customers, more orders, more hires...and suddenly the thing you built starts running you instead of the other way around. The problem usually isn't ambition. It's the missing systems underneath it.
 
Built to Last closes out the 2026 Beyond Business year with a candid, practical evening on how to grow without losing your grip — or your culture. Learn how to build systems before you desperately need them, turn what's in your head into SOPs your team can actually run, and scale operations while keeping the heart of your business intact. You'll leave with real tools, honest stories from founders who've been through it, and a clearer vision for the year ahead.
 
This is Beyond Business doing what it does best: putting the right people in the room so Arizona entrepreneurs can win.
