3-day Virtual Seminar

Hidden Risks That Derail Business Growth and How to Manage Them

Overview

This session will provide participants with an understanding of how to tackle and manage the hidden key risks that negatively impact growth in a rapidly evolving business landscape.  

It will begin with addressing the reality that the skills, structure, or leadership capability that got business to where they are often reach a point where they lag behind growth. Capability doesn’t always keep pace with ambition. This will involve identifying resilient approaches to the process of identifying, evaluating, and selecting the right calibre and number of individuals (team members, suppliers, business partners). The session will explore how growth stalls when everything depends on a few key people who haven’t got the skill or capacity to scale. It will highlight how to effectively diversify employees, supplier and partner bases, mapping supply chains and reducing vulnerabilities.

The session will go on to outline how many businesses grow revenue but lose control of margins, cash flow, or cost drivers. It will detail how to navigate regulatory and cultural insights and challenges for negotiation and partnership from the perspective of achieving cost savings and best value for your organization. It will acknowledge that organizations can grow themselves into trouble without realizing it.

It will provide an overview of necessary regulations and major differences in compliance requirements, outlining the most effective processes and procedures that need to be in place to prevent growth amplifying inefficiency. This will involve a consideration of the need to utilize agreed strategic performance metrics to ensure this is continually monitored and evaluated. It will stress the need to regularly assess their current business environment and the impact of the wider global business environment. Participants will learn the importance of continually reviewing set goals and outcomes.

Finaly, this session will address the fact that as businesses grow, they often chase too many opportunities or lose clarity on what really drives value. This results in there being too many initiatives, lack of focus, unclear priorities and consequently resources get spread thin and impact gets diluted. 

Guidance on how to plan and embed long term viable growth in a clear, coherent, and sustainable growth will be provided. This will be supported by real-world case studies of businesses who have successfully managing risks and navigated logistical growth challenges.
