3. ➢ The Business Growth Matrix- Products & Services
Appeal Focus on what attracts people, customers and
clients prior to the sale.
Value What they perceive is the reason to buy, sign-
up or join. (The sale is not all about price.)
Reliability All experiences after the sale, how they feel
about the product, service or membership.
Drive improvements to create products or services bursting to be sold.

4. ➢ The Business Growth Matrix- Organization & Stakeholders
Personnel Not just the people in your company.
People who can drive the other 8 categories.
Extend the enterprise, create real partners.
Planning/Processes Plans become processes. Drive & Monitor
information, quality, teaming, & autonomy.
Connect Products & Services with the Market
Finance Lifeblood; ROI, Justify costs, Invest = Create
Measure & Connect all activities to Sales
Organizational Improvement must start with people, connections, trust
and competency, de-emphasize experience, invigorate creativity.

5. ➢ The Business Growth Matrix- The Market
Size Can the existing market support growth? Weigh
expansion options. Is this a match for the existing
& proposed Organization and Products/Services?
Demand Linked to Appeal/Value/Reliability, but must be
cultivated and supported with insight, customer
profiles & Access.
Access Sales, Marketing, Delivery, Research, Competitive
landscape, Influencers, Connectors, Channels
All planning must be market based. Justify investments.
Greater data = Greater insight = Greater success

7. Standard Before The Growth Matrix
• Disjointed development, operations and marketing reviews were too
narrow and not well integrated or inter-related
• Technology changes not linked to business priorities
• Lack of fresh, objective evaluations
• Innovations implemented in Silos
• Prior wins lead to assumptions that were potentially harmful
• Subjective opinions without evidence used for important decisions
• Damage to relationships with investors or strategic partners: VC,
Private Equity, Family Members, Distributors, Suppliers, Customers
