🐥Scale Up Stage>>

Are you wondering about how to get the basics right for the new organisation that you’re starting up? Actually, what even are the basic building blocks??

Shared Vision

• Proactive culture
• Accountabilities
• Prioritisation techniques

If you miss this

• No clarity on key priorities
• Missed opportunities

Way of Working

• Articulating work functions
• Establishing critical path
• Wellbeing factors

If you miss this

• Difficult for the team to orient themselves
• Unclear information and decision making
• High levels of stress

Communication

• Separated channels for functions/topics
• Effective meetings

If you miss this

• No clarity on who is to do what
• Important topics get overlooked, or piles up

Some starting steps…

• Use a tool to track tasks that you are doing
• Setup regular meetings with the team to cover
  • What each person will work on next week
  • A status meeting to talk about current priorities, track whether everything is on track
  • Review new opportunities
• Clarify each person’s responsibilities
  • Note that in this phase of the organisation, everyone will wear multiple hats - that’s fine, you just need to know which hats you’re wearing
