services

All Growth River services are based in a methodology refined through working with diverse challenges faced by dozens of leadership teams over many years.

We call this methodology Growing Businesses Faster (GBF). It offers a complete, integrated system designed for one goal: to accelerate business growth and business evolution.

Why GBF?

While some business leaders are able and willing to link their thoughts and actions to business growth and evolution, many are not because:

  • They do not have the concepts and language to understand business growth and evolution.
  • They do not have the leadership skills or team environment required to:
    • Promote healthy creative friction that naturally leads to innovation.
    • Resolve tough people issues that naturally created by business growth and evolution
GBF deliverables include:
  • A shared language for articulating the business perspective.
    • Names all of the working parts of a business.
    • Raises business literacy in both for-profit and for-mission business.
    • Enables leaders to work interdependently in a more effective way.
  • A framework for working through tough people issues and aligning roles towards business growth.
    • Defines business growth as the result of people, within roles, working interdependently in an effective way.
    • Addresses the system-of-roles conversation, which is the toughest conversation for any business because it is where personal aspirations smash into the needs of commerce.
    • Links leadership, mindset and culture to businesses evolution and growth.
GBF is designed for leaders who...

…are so serious about business growth that they are willing to choose business growth over personal comfort – the GBF perspective is that a business can only grow up to and not beyond the stage of development of its top leaders.

…are willing to see themselves as responsible for the development of their colleagues and to be held accountable by others for their continued personal development.

…are rigorous students who will do the work required to fully integrate and apply the GBF concepts to their leadership styles and business-systems.
