Growth Strategies
What is it?
A comprehensive plan for how you will develop and manage each part of your business as you grow. It ensures that as your business expands it does so at a pace you can control.
Why is it important for small businesses?
Growth is a powerful business force that if planned for can be harnessed to lift your business to new heights. When you fail to plan for it however, growth can cause you to lose control of your business. As you expand you're faced with greater production, more customers, and a higher level of complexity that you have to manage with the same number of hours in a day. Whether growth is a blessing or a curse is a function of the plan you have in place ahead of time.
How do you do it?
Building a company that is prepared for growth starts with understanding your core competencies or “What do your current customers love about you”. The next step is understanding what tools and processes need to be in place to be able to expand your business but not hinder what has made you great in the first place.
