Working on driving growth for your business?
Growth is a sexy word these days and it’s liberally being included in more and more job titles.
Unfortunately, growth is too often talked about in short-sighted terms with little substance.
If you want to succeed at driving growth, it’s crucial you get clear on what growth means for your business:
- What’s the strategic imperative for growth?
- What are your growth goals?
- What’s the best pace for growth for your business?
- What are the best market opportunities for growth?
- What are the pitfalls of growth?
- How can growth be an avenue to strengthen your competitive advantage?
- How will you grow your practices, processes, and structures?
- How will you measure and monitor the financial aspects of growth?
- How will you grow the skills of your team and leadership?
- How will you build the talent pool needed to achieve your growth goals?
- How will you maintain – or even improve – organizational health as you grow?
- How will you evolve your culture with intention as you grow?
- How are you thinking about a potential exit?
Growth is not a hack.
Growth is a consistent practice of thoughtfully and sustainably navigating the demands, risks, complexity, and opportunities on the journey to make your business successful for the long haul.
