Corporate Growth Questions

  • Does our strategy-development process clearly identify where growth will come from and how it will be funded?
  • Does our performance measurement, evaluation, and reward process really stimulate behavior that will enhance the business portfolio?
  • Are we effectively communicating our commitment to growth to all our stakeholders – our customers, shareholders, and employees – and providing them with adequate information and milestones to measure our progress?
  • Do we encourage partnering internally and with others to achieve our growth goals?
  • Both at the corporate level and in the business units, do we have the right processes and process management model in place to identify, develop, and sponsor the capabilities we will need to sustain future business growth?
  • Have we built into all our governance processes a learning loop that will ensure that we continuously improve and adapt these processes to changing business conditions?
  • Is corporate leadership demonstrating the behaviors that will create growth?
  • Are we considering innovative organizational structures to remove internal barriers, attack new business areas, and aggressively develop partner and government relationships at the corporate and local level?
