A Data-Driven Approach to Strategic Planning and Strategic Growth.

Webinar Description:

Successful growth companies continue to grow amidst the powerfully chaotic forces of expansion and change. They are also tough to manage, and the more employees a business unit or organization has, the more complex the problems. However, there is compelling research that can enable your team to have a Business Crystal Ball and a powerful approach to ensuring optimal team alignment.

In this lively webcast, we will share how to apply a unique growth model, the 7 Stages of Growth. This model is like the Rosetta Stone of strategic management.

In this rapid-paced webinar, you’ll begin to understand the nuances that exist in every company that tells a story. For instance, there’s a critical ratio in every company that can tell a business leader (owner, executive director, EVP) much about why change is hard, specifically for your team. When you get this ratio in line with your organization’s stage of growth, performance can improve rapidly.

Additionally, there are only three Gates of Focus (People, Profit, and Process), which ultimately creates the infrastructure for growth in any organization. Get out of line in your stage of growth with any one of these, and performance will suffer. Get the right one figured out and you can engage an entire team in focusing on the key issues that will get performance on track.

Our goal is to help business leaders predict how the hidden agents of growth are impacting them now and into the future, focus on the right things at the right time to get maximum performance, and adapt to the needs of their company in its current stage of growth.

While this one-hour webcast will not produce the following outcomes, we will share how a few critical changes to your strategic planning approach can ensure your next strategic planning retreat provides the following results:

Walk away with a winning short-term and long-term view of your company’s strengths and weaknesses and turn them into action steps.
An inspired, aligned team committed to the same priorities and strategic growth plan.
Target what your key issues are: People, Process, or Profit and gain insight on how to address them in order of priority.
Get your company focused on the right path to improving performance.
Remove the hidden barriers that are causing performance to slump, people to disengage, and profits to dwindle.
Learn the secret behind your builder/protector ratio (your ‘confidence/caution quotient’). Find out why your employees are so uncomfortable with change. Figure out how to create an atmosphere of confidence with just the right amount of caution.
Lock onto your five most significant challenges and take them on one by one until the performance begins to improve.
Create a ‘language of growth’ that will resonate with every single employee, helping them to understand how they impact a company’s profitability.
Learn how to maximize your company’s ability to stay focused on the right things at the right time.
Determine if you are ‘running ahead of your headlights’ and what that means to your business performance in 6 – 12 months
Uncover the Rules of the Road for your stage of growth and two previous stages of growth. Take a hard look at how well you have completed each Rule for these critical stages of growth. Based on our research, not getting these done at the right time is a vast ‘performance drainer’ for all companies.
