Are you future ready - let us think again!!!

This image illustrates a common misconception that companies grow horizontally by adding divisions and or product/ service pillars. 

However, our growth is often substantial and often unplanned too. It includes starting a new product/ category/ service line outside the current country/ region/ business portfolio, and/ or there can also be either an M&A or a JV scenario at play as well. 

All of this creates a much more complex organization which is illustrated by the combined vertical and horizontal expansions in dotted lines. In short: if people are not developed, the company will outgrow them – even in their current position. This is an inevitable result of growth and changing market dynamics.

This often leads to a huge number of complications, challenges and frustrating  experiences not only for all those in the business but also for your customers and suppliers too.
