Specific Pains Means Specific Problems

Signs that your company has a problem with business operations:

  • Priorities change frequently

  • Leaders don't know the numbers

  • There is a lack focus and accountability

  • There is good strategy, but subpar execution

  • You worry about your plan to become profitable

  • Leaders or teams are rowing in different directions

  • The time spent putting out fires has increased recently

  • You find yourself cramming to prepare for board meetings

  • Your company previously hit a stride, but has since plateaued

  • You have communicated your vision, but it hasn't seemed to stick

  • You have ideas of what needs to happen, but don’t have time to do it

  • The topic of 'goals' flares up every so often, but dies out before too long

  • Your best performers are still celebrated for their scrappiness above all else

These things lead to disorganization, and growth pain.It also means you likely have a successful startup, so congratulations...But now you must evolve it to meet Growth Stage demands.

The Problem with Successful Startups

Every startup experiences similar operational challenges after the first few years of revenue.Even for the best founders, going from startup mode to the Growth Stage is messy.It requires a whole new operational cadence.One that solves for:⬇️ Inadequate focus on process and accountability
⬇️ Lack of visibility into progress on key initiatives
⬇️ Board members probing down in the weeds
⬇️ Misalignment among the leadership team
⬇️ Lack of concert across departments
⬇️ Priorities not held in common
➡️ Weak execution
⬆️ Frequent changes in priorities
⬆️ Low confidence in hitting targets
⬆️ Unwise stewardship of funds raised
⬆️ Ad hoc fires control your days too often
⬆️ Instability thru macroeconomic headwinds
⬆️ Not getting the return expected from key hiresStartups fail to make the transition to Growth Stage because they fail to understand that startup grit is not enough to drive scale.You need to add process, and have the right people.

The Solution

The solution begins with purpose in these six areas, and it will transform your company.

  • Operations Planning

  • Direction & Accountability

  • Flow of Critical Information

  • Workflow & Collaboration

  • People & Culture

  • Process Automation

This is something I learned at Amazon, refined at a Series B startup during growth between $20M and $100M ARR, and deployed at a Series A startup to overcome a $500k+/mo. burn rate and become profitable within one year.It is proven and current.

3. Engagement

Over a period of six weeks, we will launch into practice the entire Planning and Execution sections (per the chart above) with you and/or your Operations leader, establishing a system for your unique company to build upon.

T

First

We'll begin by mapping your GTM strategy to your target customers, and then organize the company to find, convert, retain, and expand them in your product ecosystem.This Operations mapping will show how everyone fits into your GTM plan, and we will drive action from it throughout our engagement.

T

Second

We will focus on what the company needs to accomplish over the next two quarters, and align departments to associated goals.We will define what is expected of each role in the organization and create a system for execution and accountability against those expectations.

T

Third

We will address the second operational area by standardizing the flow of critical information in four key areas throughout your company.We will then increase the efficiency of workflows by creating frameworks unique to your company for structure in five crucial areas of collaboration.

Finally, we will equip your Operations leader with templates for building important tenets of general scale, such as people, culture, and automation so that you can continue to build upon this foundation immediately.
