Growing a business is not as simple as applying a sales formula or launching an innovative product. The approach for growth changes as your business evolves through its business life cycle. Each time a company doubles in size, it hits an inflection point: a time in a company’s life cycle where its people, processes, and technologies are struggling to support the business. When that happens, sales flatten, profitability declines and growth is restrained.
In this podcast, hosted by Sam Gupta @WBSROCKS, Jim Gitney, Founder and CEO of Group50, shares his thoughts on inflection points and what senior leadership needs to know to identify them and make the necessary changes to people, process and technology to continue a company’s growth trajectory. He also shares his perspective on how to Navigate Through and Inflection Point. Click on the picture below to listen to the podcast.
