Stage III
An organization in the third stage may be considered mature.
Significant challenges have been overcome, and now sustained
growth presents its own challenges. While the statistics
related to success for startups are not favorable, you will
be surprised to find out that sustained growth is perhaps
the greatest challenge. Your ongoing challenge is properly
categorizing the situation that you are in, being able to
understand it, and then applying the appropriate strategies
and tactics.
It Doesn't
Get Any Easier With Size
Did you know that fewer than ten percent of established
businesses are able to sustain growth for more than ten
years? According to several studies, including the Corporate
Strategy Boards' findings in Stall Points, five percent
of companies in the Fortune 50 successfully maintain their
growth. Additionally, according to Clayton Christensen Harvard
Business Press article "... another 4 percent were
able to reignite some degree of growth after they had stalled."
This means that once a company has stalled, it's chances
of turning things around are less than 5 percent. As we
see from the results on Wall Street, and in research reports,
few firms are able to do sustain success over the relative
long-term. But don't give up yet. We will help your firm
turn these statistical odds into a competitive advantage.
Global Challenges
Ongoing growth and prosperity will prove increasingly challenging
for most firms. The Internet allows a two person startup
in India to disrupt an established and growing company in
New York. Once your firm has reached a certain point growth
becomes exceedingly difficult to maintain. This point in
your organization's life is where the proper application
of your business intelligence, and business process capability
maturity becomes highly critical. Our firm guides mature
enterprises in transforming their environment. Once your
environment has been transformed, then a change in culture
