Scaling Up: Mastering the Art of Business Growth

Scaling Up is a business management framework developed by Verne Harnish, which focuses on helping organizations grow by resolving issues that hinder their progress. Based on the bestselling book “Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It… and Why the Rest Don’t,” the framework revolves around four major decision areas: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. The Scaling Up methodology has been successfully implemented by thousands of companies worldwide to drive sustainable growth and create a lasting impact.

ZOKRI can be used for platforming Scaling Up and we’d love to create a trial account for you.

Key Concepts of Scaling Up

The Scaling Up framework is built around four key decision areas, each with specific concepts and tools to help businesses navigate the challenges of growth:

  1. People: Attracting and retaining top talent is crucial for business growth. Scaling Up tells you that  to create a functional and cohesive team, define clear roles and responsibilities, and foster a high-performance culture.
  2. Strategy: A robust strategy is the foundation for scaling your business. The Scaling Up framework helps you develop a compelling vision, identify your core customer segments, and create a differentiated value proposition that sets you apart from the competition.

EOS Issues

The best Scaling Up
Software

  • Future Proof Flexibility – you’re going to grow, and when you need your software to grow with you, you know ZOKRI will, giving the full power of Enterprise Solutions. 
  • Mange More Meetings Seamlessly – run daily, monthly and quarterly meetings of every type and agenda in ZOKRI. 
  • Connect KPI Data – double-entry is a waste of time so why not integrate directly with tools and spreadsheets. CRMs, Excel, Google Sheets and more in just a few clicks. 
  • Connect Project Tools – sometimes teams don’t want to change the project or task tool they are using. We think this is fair enough. So we make it easy to connect to Jira, Trello, Asana, Monday, Todoist, MS Projects and more to share to-dos, priorities and issues in ZOKRI and their status, without double-entry. A Rock might even be a project in one of these tools and progress could be automated.
  • Slack and MS Teams – Get notifications, updates and reply to comments directly from the communications tools teams use, without having to login to ZOKRI.
ZOKRI EOS Connectors
  • HRIS and Active Directory – HR teams want to sync their HRIS systems and / or MS Active Directory with users in ZOKRI and not have to add them twice or remember to remove them.
  • More Single Sign-on (SSO) Options – There are a number of ways tools make signing-on easy and secure. Google, Microsoft and Okta are the usuals. You need your software partner to be able to offer them all to be able to make the CTO happy.
  • Enterprise Security – security and compliance policies and procedures are a big deal for the larger customers we support and we’d love you to benefit from those as well.
