KEY STRATEGIES FOR SCALING-UP YOUR SMALL BUSINESS
Growth is exciting. Scaling is harder.
Growing revenue is one thing. Building a business capable of sustaining that growth is another.
Key Strategies for Scaling-Up Your Small Business explores the practical challenges leaders face as their organizations grow—and the financial, operational, strategic, and leadership disciplines required to build a stronger business.
By Brian Registe, Ph.D., CPA, CGMA
THE CHALLENGE OF SCALING
The business that got you here may not be the business that gets you there.
Small businesses are often built through determination, expertise, relationships, and the instincts of their founders.
But growth changes the equation.
More customers create more complexity. More employees require stronger management. Larger financial commitments increase risk. Informal processes begin to break down.
Scaling successfully means building the organization behind the growth.
INSIDE THE BOOK
Practical thinking for the decisions that come with growth.
The book examines the disciplines business leaders must strengthen as their organizations become larger and more complex.
Financial Discipline
Understand the economics of the business and build the financial foundation necessary to support growth.
Leadership & Organization
Build an organization capable of performing beyond the direct involvement of its founder or senior leaders.
People & Capability
Ensure the organization has the talent, responsibilities, and capabilities required for its next stage.
Strategy & Decision-Making
Make deliberate choices about where the company is going, what it will pursue, and what it will leave behind.
Operational Discipline
Develop processes, accountability, and management practices that make performance increasingly repeatable.
Sustainable Growth
Recognize the difference between simply becoming larger and building a stronger, more valuable enterprise.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF BUSINESS BOOK
Written from inside the business.
This is not a book about building companies from a distance.
It reflects lessons developed through years of working inside organizations—making decisions, managing resources, navigating uncertainty, solving operational problems, and dealing with the consequences when strategy meets reality.
The objective is not theory for theory’s sake.
Good ideas matter. What you do with them matters more.
