As a business grows it will encounter what we call "Valleys of Death". These are stages in the business lifecycle where the dynamics of the business stop working efficiently, and this is inevitable. This might be because the of many reasons. The mindset of the business is not right to make the leap to the next level. The leadership team is not aligned around a clear and shared vision. The strategy is not simple, different or unique. Our role as Certified Scaling Up Business Coaches is to: • Identify where your business is at within the business growth lifecycles; • Diagnose and address the struggles and drama within the leadership team and the business; • Define clear accountabilities and structure for the business; • Clarify the purpose, vision and from there, define a clear, differentiated and simple strategy; • Clear the drama from execution within the business with priorities, meeting rhythms and metrics; • Accelerate cash flow and identify new sources of revenue to fund growth. We run Growth Workshops and Growth Programs Growth Workshops Structured education and coaching over 1 or two days in the “Scaling Up” tools and techniques which results in a draft strategic plan and actionable output around people, teams, execution and cash. Growth Programs Ongoing month to month Scaling Up education, coaching and accountability in the “Scaling Up” tools and techniques. We implement the growth tools over time as appropriate to the challenges and growth stage of the business. Many business coaches are seen by their clients as a cost; We normally identify additional revenue sources or cost efficiencies several times my fees within the first couple of months. Our clients, who have successfully implemented “Scaling Up”, can expect to double their cashflow, triple their profitability and increase their valuation whilst enjoying the journey. www.crystalyzer.com Show less
