What is the Predictable Success Growth Model?
Les McKeown first recognized recurring patterns of achieving sustainable growth during his 15 years as a serial entrepreneur, during which he was involved in the launch of over 40 businesses and not-for-profits.
Later, as the co-founder of one of the world's first independent incubation businesses, Les realized that the patterns of 'early stage' success were intimately connected to second-stage and subsequent growth. Over time, he 'connected the dots' across the entire lifecycle of all organizations, naming it the 'Predictable Success Growth Model'.
The Predictable Success Growth Model - Three Main Components:
The Predictable Success Lifecycle
Every business and not-for-profit cycles through seven stages of growth. In your work with Michael, you'll learn what stage you are in, what stage you want to be in, and precisely what you need to do to get there.
Where is your company on this graph?
The Predictable Success Leadership Styles
Every sustainably successful organization needs four types of leader at different stages in its growth, each bringing their own skills, perspectives - and challenges. With Michael as your growth consultant, you'll not only find out which type of leader you are, but what other leadership types you need to develop and encourage in your organization.
What is Your Leadership or Management Style?
The Predictable Success Scalability Matrix
In order to achieve sustainable growth and scalability, there are 13 'Imperatives' - specific skills and behaviors that together, dictate where you are on the Predictable Success Lifecycle.
Michael will help you identify which of these specific Imperatives you need to work on as part of your roadmap to Predictable Success.
