Healthy Growth Services
While founders focus on their passion and areas of expertise: growing product and service offerings, expanding sales channels and customer segments, and ramping up business development and financing activities; Healthy Growth provides the planning and operational support to clarify strategy, develop business plans, and design the organizational structure to realize the vision. As the organization grows, we support the evolution and broad adoption of culture, coach leaders, and help implement key enablers such as talent and knowledge management, operational processes and policies, and establish the infrastructure to support strategic priorities.
Strategy and Business Planning
Start with inspiring, measurable, and actionable strategic and operational plans.
-
Develop your company's vision, mission and values
-
Establish objectives, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and targets
-
Cascade priority objectives and goals to a multi-year business plan with tactics, budgets, and resources
Organizational Structural Design
Structural elements constantly evolve with rapid growth and change.
-
Form follows function when designing an effective organizational structure
-
During period of rapid growth, consider span of control factors
-
When designing for collaboration, assess the information and implementation complexity across functions
Corporate Culture
With growth, culture needs to be identified, appropriately evolved, and curated.
-
As organizations grow and become distributed, they may develop distinct central and regional cultures
-
Culture becomes adopted when it is demonstrated consistently in behaviors and reinforced through corporate artifacts
-
Both formal and informal leaders play key roles in demonstrating and supporting corporate culture
Communications and Engagement
Effective execution of plans requires clear translation from words to actions.
-
In highly competitive, fast moving markets external communications must be carefully planned and controlled
-
Effective internal communications should consider structure, culture, and informal communication channels
-
Employee engagement may dip during periods of significant change and particularly when operating in virtual environments
Business Operations
Operations span an organization's infrastructure, processes, policies, and people.
-
Process standardization varies with regulatory requirements and should consider whether products and services are commoditized or bespoke
-
A risk management approach should balance control and constraints against the need for speed and agility
-
Fast growing companies must evaluate their ability to ramp up internal capacity and expertise against the cost and risks of out-sourcing
Business Enablers
Key enablers (talent, knowledge, and technology) can support or hinder growth.
-
There are few things more important to enable successful scaling of a business than acquiring, managing, and retaining top talent
-
In knowledge-based industries, data and information are valuable assets that are to be structured, stored, and secured
-
Rapid growth and change can quickly reveal gaps in business technology, communications and workflow infrastructure impacting efficiency, costs, and morale
Leadership Coaching
The opportunity to have an external sounding board is an invaluable support.
-
Leadership coaching is a tailored development process working in partnership with a coach
-
Frequent check-ins provide opportunities to step-back and consider where to refocus when operating in rapidly changing environments
-
Healthy Growth's coaching helps leaders articulate their aspirations and frustrations, clarify their goals, and develop the insights and self-awareness of factors that help or hinder goal achievement
