Scaleup Copilot

Imagine you have started a company. In the beginning there was one great idea, you and a few loyal enthusiasts. And by hard work and wits and zest the company kept on growing and progressing. Until recently. In the last year you are seeing your company starts suffering “growing pains”:

  • Custom Bullet 1people spend too much time putting out “fires”
  • Custom Bullet 1there are not enough hours in the day
  • Custom Bullet 1people do not know what others are doing
  • Custom Bullet 1management decisions are getting poorer
  • Custom Bullet 1and at some point nobody, including you, knows where the company is headed…

Sounds familiar?

This usually happens when the business volume has outgrown the company’s internal capacity as entrepreneurs have a natural inclination to focus more on market opportunities, rather than organizational development.

Scaleup Copilot is here to help you get back on track.

We have seen how difficult it is to run a scaling business and multiple internal projects on the side. That is why we developed a program, which we call the Scaleup Copilot, in which we help scaleups develop the critical aspects of this internal capacity together with one effort.

Based upon almost 50 years of research on sustainable organizational success, our US partner Management Systems have identified what are these critical aspects of internal capacity that distinguishes industry leaders from less successful or failing competitors:

  • Custom Bullet 1Strategic and operational planning
  • Custom Bullet 1Clear structure & roles
  • Custom Bullet 1Introduction of performance improvement process
  • Custom Bullet 1Culture management practices

All four applied by competent and capable leaders.

How does Scaleup Copilot work?

Scaleup Copilot is a process– first we start with analysis of the current state of the company and the challenges it faces. Then we proceed with designing or redesigning the 4 key aspects mentioned above and at the end we support the organization in implementing the changes..

Our role in this process is guiding the company leadership to ensure that they are on the same page, asking the hard questions, and facilitating the discussions to ensure productive outcomes.

By using this approach, we involve them in crafting their own solutions and embracing them with ease.
