The Academy offers two distinct levels: a Foundation track for aspiring consultants and an Advanced track for early-stage practitioners ready to scale. Each level runs 5 to 6 weeks with one live, virtual facilitated session per week, peer community access, and a capstone project that produces a real-world deliverable. Graduates of Level 2 are eligible to join Battle Plan's vetted contractor network.
Level 1: Foundation
You have the PM skills and the sector experience, but you need support translating them into a business. Level 1 builds it with you, from positioning to your first client.
Level 2: Scale and Specialize
You're consulting, but growth means more than more clients. Level 2 teaches you to scale through partnerships, teams, and systems, and opens a pathway into Battle Plan's vetted contractor network.
What to Expect
A structured, hands-on environment designed to turn your active consulting practice into a scalable, sustainable firm.
Live Weekly Sessions
Facilitated in real time, not pre-recorded videos.
Cohort Learning
Small group sizes to support community building and peer accountability.
Sector-Specific Training
Gain nonprofit, government, and small business fluency.
Contract-Ready
Level 2 graduates leave with support and skills to be ready for an active engagement, strategic partnership, or signed contract.
Contractor Network Access
Available to eligible Level 2 graduates by application.
Built By Practitioners
Every session is built on real-world practice in today's environment.
What You'll Achieve
By the end of Level 2, participants will be able to:
Transition from solo practitioner to firm owner with repeatable operational systems and team frameworks
Confidently lead complex, multi-stakeholder engagements with evolving scope and high-stakes deliverables
Master advanced pricing structures, value-based contracts, and cash flow systems for sustainable growth
Turn client delivery and exceptional client experience into a primary repeat-business and referral engine
Build strategic partnerships, subcontracting channels, and an authentic business development pipeline
Establish recognized thought leadership and positioning that commands higher fees and qualifies for Battle Plan's vetted contractor network
Level 2: Scale and Specialize Curriculum
A six-week intensive designed to help early-stage practitioners scale from solo operator to firm owner with systems, teams, and strategic partnerships.
Sessions meet virtually on Thursdays from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM EST
From Freelancer to Firm
This session confronts the identity and operational shift that comes with scaling beyond solo work. Participants examine what it actually takes to build a firm, not just a consulting career.
Complex Engagement Management
Managing a single project is different from managing a complex, multi-stakeholder engagement with evolving scope. This session equips participants to lead confidently even when things get messy.
Financial Management
Financial literacy is a competitive advantage in consulting. This session goes beyond basic rate-setting to help participants build financial systems that support sustainable firm growth.
Client Experience & Consulting Excellence
The best consulting businesses are built on repeat clients and referrals, not constant cold outreach. This session focuses on delivering such a strong client experience that clients become your most powerful growth engine.
Business Development
Sustainable consulting businesses are built on relationships and reputation, not cold outreach alone. This session helps participants build a BD strategy anchored in authentic connection and strategic positioning.
Thought Leadership & Brand Building
The most sought-after consultants are known for something. This final session helps participants develop a thought leadership strategy that builds credibility, attracts clients, and contributes meaningfully to their sector.
Upon graduation of the cohort, eligible Level 2 participants receive an official Battle Plan Certificate of Completion and direct pathway application into Battle Plan's vetted contractor network.
