Lots of companies – and lots of advisors – think about growth in terms of the numbers. And don't get me wrong it's absolutely vital that you understand those numbers thoroughly.
More important still is that the numbers you are working with are a true reflection of your business and your opportunity and not rely on "should" and "hope". For example, I worked with one company whose growth projections were based upon the results gained over the previous year via an unrepeatable business opportunity. The reality of the situation was that the company would need to effectively double it's underlying business to achieve the "30%" growth the board were looking for. But more on this another time.
What most businesses forget to remember is that the company is so much more than the SWOT analysis and the financial ambitions of the leadership. It's YOU and everyone around you. Growth causes big changes. This can be in terms of learning new products / methodologies / technology / ways of working, or through the increase in staff that accompanies success. All of this has an impact on the whole business that isn't always positive.
The good news is that there are things you can put in place alongside your plans to ensure that you bring the business with you and the transition to that next life stage is smooth, exciting and a true team effort.
