GrowthWheel® is a graphical toolbox and online platform used by business consultants, accelerators and entrepreneurship managers to help companies make decisions and set a course of action.
The platform helps startups and mature companies build their businesses through simple decision-making and action-driven process – and one that stays true to the way most entrepreneurs think and work.
For the advisor, the absolute flexibility of the toolbox means that it can be fully adapted to existing consulting tools and customer needs, and can even be used by customers themselves, saving everyone’s time.
Please visit our agenda for the upcoming Certification and registration.
GrowthWheel® is built upon the observation that every business – across every industry and stage of maturity – has four enduring challenges in common: creating a compelling Business Concept, building a strong Organization behind it, developing Customer Relations, and do so while maintaining lucrative Operations.
GrowthWheel® splits the 4 challenges into 20 focus areas. This provides a 360° view of business decisions and maps out the areas your customer needs to focus on.
The framework is used to initiate structured conversations about business, helps the entrepreneur identify business opportunities and challenges using the platform’s simple and agile framework, and identifies the key business focus areas of the clients. Our “growth wheel” serves as a checklist of priority decisions and actions for the steps to take.
