Expansion planning
Business cases, site and market options, and launch plans with owners, dates and a budget.
Practice / Direction
Growth projects
Growth that is planned and led: new sites, new services and acquisitions that settle in properly.
01Situations we are asked about
Sound familiar?
Typical starting points for this practice, in the words leaders often use.
We are opening a second site and the first one cannot spare anyone.
We bought a business and it still runs as a separate company.
We are launching a new service and want it to land.
Growth keeps getting delayed by day-to-day pressure.
02The working model
Many small bets, a few scaled
Growth work runs as a pipeline of bets. Each one is tested cheaply, and only the ones that prove themselves at a gate get the money and people to scale.
- Dots: ideas and initiatives in play
- Lines: gates with evidence agreed in advance
- Stopping a bet at a gate is a good result, not a failure
03What we do
Services in this practice
Service launches
From concept to launch: customer testing, pricing logic, operating model and the launch plan itself.
Integration
Post-acquisition and merger integration plans covering people, systems, customers and culture.
90-day execution rhythm
A standing rhythm of 90-day commitments, fortnightly check-ins and quarterly reviews so growth work keeps moving.

06Accredited study
Related nationally recognised qualifications
Nationally recognised qualifications are delivered by CAQA, RTO 45459, and listed on Career Calling Courses. Our own workshops, programs and advisory are non-accredited.
What is the 90-day rhythm?
Quarterly commitments, each with an owner and a measure, checked fortnightly and reviewed at the end of each quarter. Our insights page shows how to run one.
Do you help with acquisitions?
We help plan and run the integration. Valuation, legal and tax work stay with your accountant and lawyer.
