The 5.5 processes you need to manage to have a sustainable practice
When someone asks how you’re going to grow your practice, most people’s answer is some version of: win more clients.
But winning more work is only one of five and a half ways to grow a practice. And it’s not always the highest-leverage one.
If your Business Case feels vague, e.g. lots of good intentions, not enough specifics, it’s often because you haven’t yet identified where your real growth levers are. This episode gives you a process-by-process framework to find them.
In this episode, you’ll go through all 5.5 processes in any practice, learn how to score each one, and identify the high-impact opportunities that belong in the narrative of your Business Case.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
- Why ‘win more work’ is only one of five and a half processes and why focusing on it exclusively often isn’t the way to grow a sustainable business
- The 5.5 processes framework: Create it, Convert it, Deliver it (client), Deliver it (people), Get paid for it, and Cultivate it — and the key diagnostic question for each one
- How to identify which processes are leaking in your practice, and how to separate high-impact opportunities from low-effort quick wins
