SCAQ Executive Retreat
What to Expect from the Executive Retreat
SCAQ is heading to Hamilton Island this September, bringing together senior strata leaders, business owners and principals for two days of leadership, business excellence and strategic connection.
Participants will gain practical insight into:
• Understanding economic, industry and business cycles, and what they mean for future growth
• Building the capability and infrastructure needed to scale effectively
• Increasing profitability and operational efficiency
• Reducing key-person dependency and strengthening leadership depth;
• Creating succession and exit options, even where retirement is years away; and
• Enhancing the value and attractiveness of the business as an asset.
Whether your focus is profitable growth, greater control, succession planning or building a more valuable and resilient business, this session will provide practical tools, fresh perspective and strategies that can be applied immediately.
We are pleased to welcome business strategist Chris Dionne, Founder of Stellar Business Consulting and Business Coaching, who will lead a practical session: Building Enterprise Value in Strata: Designing a Business That Performs Today and Has Options Tomorrow. With 28 years of international consulting and business coaching experience across Australia, Europe and the UK, Chris has worked with fast-growing businesses, owners and executive teams to improve performance, increase enterprise value and navigate growth, succession, acquisitions and exit strategies.
The 2026 SCAQ Principals Retreat is an opportunity to step away from the noise of day-to-day operations and spend focused time on the leadership, business and strategic issues that matter most. Designed specifically for senior strata leaders and business owners, the retreat will provide space to think deeply about business performance, culture, capability, growth, risk and the future of the sector. It is also a rare opportunity to connect with peers who understand the same pressures, opportunities and decisions, in an environment designed for honest conversation, practical insight and meaningful collaboration.
