Having moved to the UK three months ago, I can attest to my colleagues’ Tunde Olanrewaju and Andrew Goodman‘s findings in this excellent report: that the ambitious growth happening in many UK companies is not yet fully reflected in the stock market.    They delve into the behaviours of the UK’s top 500 companies – only a third of which are listed – to determine how the top performers are driving growth, breaking it down into a code of ‘systematic ambition’.     There are great findings here for UK business leaders seeking to maximise their organisations’ growth potential in the coming years. Do take a look and let me know what you think – I realize the formula for growth is not always an easy one, but as this report shows, it is a possible one (hints: tech, upskilling, new product innovation, geo expansion…).    #Growth #GrowthStrategy #UK #UnitedKingdom
