Scaling Success:
Why development matters
We recognise that leading a scale up can be tough and fast paced, top teams are stretched in many different directions as they juggle strategic growth with building operational infrastructure, team expansion and revenue generation.
This can be a challenging time for founders and top teams as they pivot from start up to scale up phase, and a recent report from Beauhurst highlights 75% of scale ups stagnate or fail to reach IPO or a successful exit.
Fundamentally, top team capabilities are a critical success factor for scale up success, and research by the Scale Up Institute shows 8 out of 10 scale ups consider it vital to upskill their top teams. Their research revealed that the capabilities that mattered most by scale up boards and senior management teams were 65% business development, 40% strategic development and 24% HR, talent, and cultural management.
So, where can a Founder, Investor or Accelerator turn when they have a top team scaling up that needs to strengthen these capabilities?
They can turn to us.
‘Hewlett Rand’s top team support helped us to create greater structure and focus for our strategic growth as we expanded our services before a successful exit.’
