Companies grow in phases – and each phase brings its own crisis. We know these patterns and guide you safely through every transition with the right measures.
The founder phase is all about the idea and first customers. As you grow, informal leadership no longer scales – real management and liquidity are needed.
Example: the team grows from 5 to 20 people, yet every decision still depends solely on the founders.
Support: Advisory, idea development and securing cash flow.
Clear leadership is in place – but every decision runs through the top. Employees need more autonomy.
Example: 60 employees, yet every holiday request and minor approval lands on the managing director’s desk.
Support: Leadership development and financing support.
Responsibility is delegated – now the overview is at risk. Transparency and steerability are needed.
Example: individual units run independently, but no one can see where time and money actually go.
Support: Process advisory, lean management and financial transparency.
Control systems take hold – but turn into red tape. Processes need to become lean and market-driven again.
Example: there is a form for every decision, and the company reacts more slowly than the market.
Support: Market analysis and targeted sales support.
Cross-functional collaboration becomes the norm – yet complexity grows faster than the organisation.
Example: many projects, many interfaces – teams lose time coordinating instead of creating value.
Support: Continuous improvement and a strong team culture.
The company is broadly networked – but what it stands for becomes blurred. Positioning and identity need sharpening.
Example: the offering has grown, but customers can no longer say clearly what the brand stands for.
Support: Market penetration with specialised teams.
