Three things that stop growing businesses from scaling smoothly

Businesses that stall at the growth stage almost never have a problem with their product.

The ceiling is almost always in one of three places – how clearly the business is directed, whether the team structure still fits, or whether the financial picture is clear enough to make confident decisions.

In this Lunch and Learn, Michael Wakeham shares a practical framework for founders and owner-managers who are ready for the next stage of growth.

Drawing on two decades of experience working inside SMEs and established business growth research, Michael explains the three areas that consistently shape whether a growing business scales or plateaus – strategy, people and finance.

Topics covered in this session

• How to tell the difference between having a strategy and having a list of goals, and why it changes everything about how you grow

• What to look for in your people and team structure as the business moves to the next stage

• How improving your financial visibility changes the quality of decisions you make without needing to change the underlying numbers
