Managing Organic Growth

Managing rapid organic growth creates pressures on both capability and capacity and presents organisations with a number of challenges:

• Leaders who are promoted early in their careers, often from technical backgrounds, need support in the transition from ‘doing’ to ‘managing and leading’. 
• Introducing new ways of working cross-functionally and sometimes, cross geography and culture.  This requires higher levels of influencing behaviours, together with specifics such as team leadership.
• Increasing size and complexity of projects – affecting management.
• Requirements for commercial acumen so that leaders and managers understand their role in contributing to top and bottom line performance.
• Systematic approaches to performance management, both in celebrating high performance and addressing underperformance.

Hemsley Fraser works with organisations to:

• Provide targeted support, coaching and development for new leaders
• Motivate and retain key individuals.
• Support the development of key areas of commerciality to support accountability and efficient contributions from all levels and functions in the business.
• Strengthen core management and leadership practices around performance management, coaching and communication.
• Build project and programme management disciplines and processes, including for remote and cross-cultural working, to ensure seamless delivery of business priorities.
