What got you here won't necessarily get you there.
Running a successful hospitality business comes with its own set of challenges. Rising costs, staffing pressures, changing customer expectations and the constant demands of day-to-day operations can make it difficult to find time to focus on the bigger picture.
Whether you’re looking to grow, improve performance, build a stronger leadership team or plan for succession or exit, the next stage of your business requires a different level of thinking.
The Owner Manager Program exists for this exact moment.
A program for private business owners
Over five months, the Owner Manager Program brings owners together for monthly intensive three-day blocks, providing the time, space and expertise to step back, challenge their thinking and work strategically on their business.
You’ll work alongside experienced facilitators and owners from a diverse range of industries, gaining fresh perspectives and practical insights you can apply directly to your own business.
Your business is the case study.
Everything you explore is applied to your business, your numbers and your opportunities.
What changes for you and your business
The Owner Manager Program is designed to change how you think, lead and make decisions about your business — giving you the clarity, confidence and practical tools to take it forward.

Developed by MYMAX. Backed by experience.
Rob Douglas and Chris Robinson have worked together for more than a decade, combining their deep experience in growing and transforming private businesses.
In 2011, Rob developed a program in partnership with the Wharton School to help Australian companies expand into the US market. Early clients included Lorna Jane and One Steel Light Steel Beam, with the team developing their US market entry and growth strategies. Rob connected with Chris – former CEO of Amart Allsports, who led a $100m management buyout in 2004 with private equity firm Archer Capital, building the business to $240m and ending with the purchase of Rebel Sport in 2007. Chris’ love of business meant any thoughts of retirement didn’t last long.
Their shared commitment to practical, trusted business support led to years of collaboration, culminating in the creation of the Owner Manager Program. Together, they’ve supported hundreds of private business owners to grow, expand, and plan successful exits.
Over 375 Business Owners have completed OMP
