Skyrocket Your Company's Success With This Unlikely Tool:

Calling ambitious entrepreneurs and future unicorns! 🚀

Are you ready to take your start-up or scale-up to stratospheric heights? Buckle up, because I'm about to drop some serious wisdom on how to draft out an organisation chart and people growth plan that will have your business soaring to success faster than you can say "innovation."

First things first, let's channel our inner visionary founder. Close your eyes and picture the future of your company. What do you see? World domination?* Industry disruption?* That's the spirit! Now, let's break down that grand vision into bite-sized chunks that will get you there.

(*also works for those with more modest ambitions!)

Think of your business goals as building blocks. Each block represents a milestone on your journey to greatness. Whether it's conquering new markets, launching game-changing products, or achieving exponential growth, break it down into achievable steps.

Now, let's talk about the dream team that will make it all happen. Remember "The E Myth" by Michael Gerber? It's time to apply those principles and build a scalable and sustainable business. You'll need leadership to steer the ship, sales & marketing masters & mistresses to spread the word, finance wizards to keep the cash flowing, and operational gurus to deliver the goods.

You need to sketch out the organisation chart for the size of business you WANT, not what you’ve got, right now. And remember that, no matter what the type or size of business is, all need these basic functions as a minimum: Sales & Marketing; Product/Service Delivery; Finance & Operational Support; Leadership/CEO.

Put the name of the person responsible in each role placemark. This may well be your name in all the roles at the moment. Then look at who and where you hire first (or outsource to) and, hey presto!, you have yourself an outline of a basic people strategy.

Visualise your organisation chart like a superhero lineup. The CEO is your fearless leader, guiding the team towards victory. Your sales & marketing superheroes are out there, spreading the gospel of your brand to the masses. The finance wizards are crunching numbers and keeping the cash flow healthy. And let's not forget the operational heroes who ensure that every customer experience is smooth sailing.

But wait, there's more! A scaling business needs more than just the bare minimum. You might need tech geniuses to drive innovation, customer support champs to keep your clients happy, and HR heroes to nurture your growing team. Don't forget to include these crucial roles in your organisation chart.

And here's a pro tip: Consider involving a strategic HR partner or recruiter for expert guidance and to bounce ideas around. They can help you identify the right talent for each role, build a rock-solid recruitment strategy, and ensure that your people growth plan aligns perfectly with your business objectives. We partner with many HR & People Professionals who offer transactional and strategic services, and are happy to make introductions to tried and tested experts.

So, there you have it, folks. With a killer organisation chart and people growth plan in hand, there's no limit to what your start-up or scale-up can achieve. It's time to unleash your inner rockstar entrepreneur and take the business world by storm. Get ready to soar to new heights of success! 🚀
