As our businesses may move from growth to contraction, we will discuss how to preserve the critical factors that will drive business growth again, after a business has gone through a contraction.


Managing the organisational growth of a business can be surprisingly difficult. The success factors that created the growth – culture, staff morale, focus and more – are all at risk when a company gets larger. And when a business needs to temporarily contract in size, the impact on these factors can be even more profound. SMEs in today’s business climate need to prepare for both types of transition.
