The 7 Stages of Growth is a comprehensive business growth system based on principles inherent in Nature. It gives you the tools to diagnose, predict and solve the challenges common to growing companies.
The 7 Stages of Growth system unlocks the secrets of enterprise growth in four key ways:
Over the last 20 years the professionals at Growth Curve Institute have been conducting an ongoing national research study to understand and decipher the patterns, the behavior and the characteristics of growth in small- to mid-size enterprises.
At Growth Curve Institute, we have been intrigued by how some companies are able to successfully navigate the severe challenges associated with growing an enterprise—while others are not. Thru our research we discovered a unique phenomenon present in all companies that we have named the Growth Curve.
The Growth Curve is the natural and ideal path that a company takes as it navigates the increasing complexity associated with each stage of growth. When we say that we want to Navigate the Growth Curve, what we are really saying is that we want to navigate our organization through both the chaos and the equilibrium associated growing organizations. A company that successfully navigates the Growth Curve is a sustainable company.
Note: The 7 Stages of Growth are also applicable, with minor adjustments, to the stages of growth in a department or division within a larger enterprise.
As Growth Curve Institute’s research focused on hundreds of growing companies on the Front Range of Colorado, Silicon Valley and other dynamic business zones throughout our country, it became apparent that successful enterprise growth leaders always rise to the top because they are deeply committed to being:
Frankly, most companies we encountered were operating in a state of “figuring it out as you go.” Unless the owner or CEO had years of experience growing companies, our research showed that without a clear model for understanding growth most small- to mid-size business owners don’t have the level of predictability necessary to survive the game. And even if one has been down the road before, each new venture produces its own patterns and personality that create unique challenges very likely not seen before by the operator.
When we look at an organization as a living, breathing entity rather than a machine with replaceable parts, we treat it differently. The rules of how that business entity grows are different from what we had assumed them to be when viewed from a classical industrial viewpoint.
There are Three Primary Benefits of understanding your company based on the 7 Stages of Growth system:
To create a sustainable, thriving enterprise takes time, patience and planning. And it takes knowing how to navigate the various stages of enterprise growth.
Successful Growth Companies are companies that continue to grow amidst the powerful, chaotic forces of expansion and change. They are light, agile and intelligent entities that have overthrown the old model of “business as machine” and have flourished because they value growth—growing people, growing processes and growing revenue/profit. If you aspire to lead a successful and sustainable growth company, then it would behoove you to explore the 7 Stages of Growth system as presented by Growth Curve Institute.
