A new trend in education, another emerging technology, shifting market demand—every week, there’s something “set to completely revolutionize the industry.” How can educational businesses stay on course amidst all this turbulence and continue to grow? At CODDY, we’ve developed an approach that helps us thrive even during the most challenging times.

Navigating the Storms of Change
Take the story of our branch in Barcelona as an example. While others were pulling back and closing their centers due to market uncertainties, branch manager Daniel chose to expand.
“It felt like steering a ship through a storm,” he recalls. “Everyone around us was panicking, but we stayed focused on what we do best—providing children with high-quality education.”

Three Pillars of Sustainable Growth
1. Trust Your Strategy
When your foundation is strong, temporary setbacks won’t derail you. At CODDY, we:

  • Continuously improve our teaching methods.
  • Invest in building up our team.
  • Maintain consistently high standards of quality.
2. Stay Focused on What Matters Most
During turbulent times, it’s critical to remember your core mission. For us, this means:

  • Delivering high-quality education to kids.
  • Supporting and developing our instructors.
  • Building strong relationships with parents.
3. Speak the Same Language
“When the pandemic hit, we were able to adapt quickly because we had a unified, close-knit team that understood each other without needing long explanations,” says one branch leader. Open communication and a shared vision make fast transitions manageable.

How CODDY Makes Decisions
Looking Beyond Trends
Not every trend merits immediate action. We evaluate:

  • The actual market demand behind the buzz.
  • Alignment with our values and goals.
  • Potential for long-term benefits rather than short-term gains.
A Case in Point
While many rushed to launch short-term programming intensives, we stayed focused on deep, comprehensive learning experiences. The result? Our graduates consistently achieve outstanding results, and parents eagerly recommend us to their friends.
Constants in a World of Change
At CODDY, some things remain solid regardless of what’s happening in the world:

  • A personalized approach to each student.
  • Ongoing professional growth for our teachers.
  • Active integration of educational innovations.
Supporting Our Branches
Every CODDY partner benefits from:

  • A proven business model tailored to education.
  • Decision-making frameworks to address challenges effectively.
  • Comprehensive support during difficult situations.
  • Access to the collective expertise of our network.
A Look Ahead
“Education will always evolve, but some principles stay timeless—dedicated teachers who inspire children to grow,” says CODDY founder Emma Whitfield.

Final Thoughts
In a world of constant change, success favors those who can distinguish between what’s urgent and what’s truly important. Consistency, focus, and long-term vision are the keys to sustainable growth.
