When growth stalls, it’s an opportunity to reassess your business model, set focused OKRs, and leverage FAST Transformation™ Toolkits to effectively reignite growth and steer your enterprise towards a successful scale-up.
The thrill of entrepreneurial success is intoxicating. You’ve built a business from scratch, nurtured it from the ground up, and watched it blossom into a thriving enterprise. But then, the unthinkable happens – your growth stalls. Sales decline, profitability slips, and suddenly you’re facing a difficult question: “Where did we go wrong?”
It’s a frustrating experience for business founders, but it’s not a death sentence. Many great companies have faced growth stalls and emerged stronger than ever. The key is not in merely pushing harder but in reimagining your business model and setting the right Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).
The Power of OKRs
Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are a goal-setting framework that encourages focus, alignment, and commitment within an organization. It encourages teams to stretch beyond their comfort zone and work collectively towards the same objective.
Read our comprehensive guide to OKRs for more information on this best practice goal setting framework.
Let’s take a look at Google – the tech giant’s use of OKRs is legendary. One of their most famous OKRs was to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” It was a grand, ambitious Objective. But by breaking it down into measurable Key Results (like “improve search speed by 10%” or “increase ad revenue by 20%”), they were able to realize their goal.
You can realize your goal too if you’ve found that your business has stalled. Start by setting a high-level Objective, like “Reignite growth and increase revenue.” Then, define Key Results that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). They could look like “Increase customer retention by 15% in Q3” or “Boost online sales by 25% by year-end.”
Setting OKRs doesn’t just provide direction – it fosters alignment across your organization. Everyone should know what you’re working towards and how their individual efforts contribute to the bigger picture. This clarity and cohesion are often what businesses need to break through growth stalls.
