What do leading companies do differently that drives them to grow faster than competitors? We studied a set of 50 companies (the top 10 fastest growers over a two-year period in five industries) to understand what they’ve done differently. While there are competitive dynamics that are unique to each of the industries, we identified four common themes of supergrowers. Read on to learn about the patterns of investment, decision-making, and behavior – combined with industry smarts and executive team determination - that elevate these companies to supergrower status.

At the moment many prospective clients ask me "It's a recession, how can you expect me to invest in innovation. I need to minimize cost". But there is a great old saying: do the one without stop doing the other. Why? Because innovative companies will outgrow less inoovative ones in the long run. My friends at McKinsey published this great article this week showing the facts. You have to innovate to win. even during a recession. https://lnkd.in/ev5Gr6nG

As you may be aware, we favour sustainable outcomes and work hard to include them in all our work with our clients. That can sometimes bring some tension to proceedings, because the traditional definitions of success translate automatically as growth and then growth-upon-growth. While of course this kind of growth is necessary to pay wages and afford investment, after a while a commercial organisation will have "more money than they know what to do with" in the notoriously insensitive words of a senior leader at BP some years ago. That level comes at different stages for different companies. We would always argue that, as long as the level of profit ensures all the bills are paid, life is comfortable for all employees and there is some contingency, a company has the opportunity to use their additional "growth" for good - and even refocus the definition of "growth" to be wider than just the financial. Innovation is a key part of that. Although perhaps not coming at things from precisely this viewpoint, here's a McKinsey briefing which advocates innovation as your competitive edge.
