Description:
An overview of 2010 market trends for Stage 2 small businesses. Stage 2 is marked by the realization among a company’s leadership team that something monumental within the business needs to change in order for growth to ensue or continue. It is characterized by recognizing that something that was once relatively simple – a fledgling business – is becoming complex as it evolves. It is an understanding that a firm has evolved from survival mode into a sustainable enterprise that marks Stage 2. Phimation has identified that Stage 2 companies are faced with one or more of three main business challenges: o They’re trying to grow. o They’ve stagnated. o They’re transitioning leadership. The problems are more complicated, your team is bigger, and the stakes are higher. As a Stage 2 leader, your company’s success hinges on your ability to implement unfamiliar management and strategy techniques into your business, and you need some guidance to learn how to do just that.
