A business that isn’t growing is dying. Business, like life,
needs to be enlivened with positive movement. Injecting that vibrancy,
however, is not a lineal process. Rather to generate energy, movement,
vigor for your business is a widening spiral of activities that need
strategic planning, integration, and timing.
The center point of the
spiral is establishing your business identity. What is your company’s
persona, purpose, value system, business niche, management style,
resource organization, specialty areas,
manner of doing business and delivering customer service? How
prepared are you to handle exceptions and anomalies? What messages
does
your storefront, your Web site, your fictitious name, your
brochures/business cards actually send as compared to your intended
message?
Concurrent with forming an accurate, spirited identity is assessing
your business structure to determine its business capacity,
what growth margins remain untapped, and what modifications are
needed
if growth (such as revenue, additional products/services,
staffing, branch sites, communication) is to occur.
A business can collapse under the weight of its own success. For
example, if you’re not careful, you can create a tidal wave
of demand that is beyond your ability to satisfy. Understanding your
current capability can help define fundamental changes required for
a manageable growth rate.
