THE ORGANIZATION IS OPERATIONALLY IMMATURE

• There can be lots of: energy, creativity, activity, and goodwill,

• But this is often not channeled correctly, meaning there is a lot of wastage and a lack of focus in the right areas.

TRANSITION FROM OPERATIONALLY IMMATURE ORGANIZATION

• There is a time in every start-up’s life when they must start making that transition to being a mature organization.

• Organizations start needing to make this transition from immature start-up to mature SME (Small and medium enterprises) when they hit around 50 people.

TRANSITION FROM OPERATIONALLY IMMATURE ORGANIZATION

• There is a time in every start-up’s life when they must start making that transition to being a mature organization.

• Organizations start needing to make this transition from immature start-up to mature SME (Small and medium enterprises) when they hit around 50 people.

• If this transition phase isn’t correctly handled, the organization can run into quite serious trouble.

SKILLS' EMPHASIS SHIFTS

• A group of managers and staff who have been hired and groomed to work well in small, tight informal teams of people.

• They are geared toward working in a smaller environment.

• However, those skills that were suitable for operating in a company of 20 people, are less suitable for working in a company of 100 people.

HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVER

• High employee turnover at this stage as the less adaptable, early stage start-up employees leave and are replaced by SME geared employees.

HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVER

• High employee turnover at this stage as the less adaptable, early stage start-up employees leave and are replaced by SME geared employees.

• A lot of the knowledge and information used to operate the business leaves with those departing employees as documentation and systems tend not to be a priority.

THE RESULTS

OBSTACLE

• The problem is that small business geared senior managers are often not equipped to communicate business goals in a larger more established business.

OBSTACLE

• The problem is that small business geared senior managers are often not equipped to communicate business goals in a larger more established business.

• It needs a much more sophisticated system of communication and management than a quarterly town hall meeting, to engage and unify the efforts of a large work force.
