Growth Acceleration Process (GAP)
Companies with consistent, long-term growth do not execute arbitrarily. IIP Principals have developed a methodology called the Growth Acceleration Process. This process involves systematically building and/or upgrading the key functional components of a company as well as transforming the mindset of the company into a culture of growth.
Through this intensive process, IIP professionals along with key management are reinforcing the transformation into a culture of growth. Example initiatives include:
Typical lower middle market company
- Sacred cows
- Managers prioritized primarily on experience
- Ambiguous performance metrics and incentives
- “Fear to take risk” environment
- Sleepy pace
- Management “do as I say and not as I do”
Culture of Growth
- No sacred cows (agenda is to build value)
- Managers prioritized on performance
- Detailed performance metrics and incentives
- Safe and cultivating environment to take risk
- Urgency to build value
- Management leads by example
