At Level39 in Canary Wharf, Synthosys co-founders Dr Vanessa Pozzali and Dr Tarek Jomaa brought the 4C Diagnostic Model to a community of startups and scaleups navigating the complexities of scaling without fragility.
In discussions with founders and leaders of multi-million-pound ventures, they explored the hidden risks of scaling too fast — from generational frictions and cross-border collaboration to the cultural strains of rapid headcount growth.
The session showed how the 4C Model makes these fragilities instantly visible through a single, evidence-based report, giving entrepreneurs the clarity to act early and scale with confidence.
The conversations were rich and forward-looking, sparking opportunities for mentorship, consultancy, and partnership with ambitious founders determined to build not just fast-growing businesses, but anti-fragile organisations ready to thrive in high-pressure, competitive markets.
Takeaway: Scaling isn’t only about numbers — it’s about building the cultural resilience to match your growth. The earlier fragilities are spotted, the stronger your organisation becomes.
