Next-gen franchise disruptor Michael Black to reveal untold growth secrets at WA Insights Breakfast
Announcement posted by Invigorate PR 17 Apr 2026
One of Australia's fastest-rising franchise leaders is set to lift the lid on what it really takes to build a modern, scalable business, with Success Tutoring founder and Global CEO Michael Black headlining the upcoming Franchise Council of Australia (FWA) WA Insights Breakfast in Perth.
As the face of a new generation of franchising in Australia, Black will share never-before-heard insights into the realities of rapid expansion, brand building and the discipline required to scale in today's competitive market.
Hosted by the FCA at Mount Lawley Golf Club on Wednesday 22 April, the event will bring together industry leaders, franchisees and operators eager to understand how the next wave of franchise brands is being built.
"This is not the old model of franchising," Black said.
"We are seeing a complete shift in how brands are built, how they grow and how they connect with customers. The next generation of franchise businesses need to think differently, move faster and operate smarter."
A new era of franchising
Black has built Success Tutoring into one of the fastest-growing education franchise networks, expanding across Australia and internationally with a model focused on consistency, culture and performance.
He said the traditional playbook for franchising is being rewritten.
"What worked ten or twenty years ago is no longer enough," he said.
"Today, franchise brands need strong systems, clear identity and the ability to execute at scale without losing quality."
At the WA Insights Breakfast, Black will share candid, behind-the-scenes insights into the journey of building a high-growth franchise brand.
"I will be talking openly about the challenges, the mistakes and the key decisions that shaped our growth," he said.
"These are insights you don't usually hear because they happen behind closed doors."
What attendees will learn
The session, facilitated by Franchise Council of Australia Head of Operations and Events Lisa Saville, will focus on the theme: Building the next generation of franchise brands: growth, grit and getting it right.
Attendees can expect practical, real-world insights including:
How to scale a franchise with structure and consistency
What it takes to stand out in a crowded market
The systems required to support sustainable expansion
Lessons from the frontline of rapid business growth
"This is not theory," Black said.
"This is what actually happens when you are building and scaling a business in real time."
Why this matters now
With franchising continuing to grow as a preferred business model across Australia, Black said there has never been a more important time to understand what separates successful brands from those that struggle.
"Franchising is evolving quickly," he said.
"Those who understand how to adapt will thrive, those who don't will be left behind."
He said the next generation of franchise leaders are defined by speed, clarity and execution.
"It's about building something that works, not just something that looks good on paper," Black said.
A rare opportunity for the WA market
The WA Insights Breakfast offers a unique opportunity for the local franchising community to hear directly from one of the sector's emerging leaders.
"This is a chance to gain insight from someone who is actively building and scaling a franchise right now," Black said.
"It's real, it's practical and it's relevant."
Attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with peers across the industry, making the event both an educational and networking experience.
