Strategic Choices for Business Growth at Success Stage PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 25-slide Five Stages of Business Growth PowerPoint presentation, outlines Stage III, labeled "Success," in the context of small business growth. At this juncture, business owners face critical decisions regarding the future trajectory of their enterprises. The overview indicates that owners can either expand their businesses or maintain their current operations.

Option A involves leveraging existing cash flow and borrowing capacity to finance growth. This path requires a commitment to developing managerial capabilities to address the evolving needs of the business. It emphasizes the importance of strategic investment to sustain momentum and capitalize on opportunities.

Conversely, Option B allows owners to disengage from daily operations, redirecting their focus toward personal interests or new ventures. This could include starting another business, engaging in political activities, or pursuing hobbies. The slide suggests that businesses can remain in this stage indefinitely, provided they do not compromise their market position or allow poor management to undermine their success.

Key questions and challenges are highlighted, prompting owners to weigh the benefits of continued investment against the allure of disengagement. This decision-making process is crucial, as it can significantly impact the long-term viability of the business.

The examples provided, referencing Tim Ferriss's advocacy for minimal effort companies, illustrate practical applications of these options. The slide effectively communicates the dual paths available to business owners at this stage, encouraging a thoughtful evaluation of their strategic direction.



This slide is part of the Five Stages of Business Growth PowerPoint presentation.

This presentation is created by former McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, EY, and Capgemini consultants. The 5 Stages of Growth framework is one of the most popular and effective Business Maturity Models used by Strategy Consultants.
