About the Book
Accelerating Growth is a guide for rapidly scaling companies to achieve their full potential. Based on the Management System developed by private equity investor Vern Davenport, this framework transforms company operations by aligning, focusing, and empowering the organization.
The Management System provides the tools to address these issues, beginning with the establishment of a shared vision of the future through documents like the From-To Chart. Next, leaders define how work gets done via the Functional Construct and Roles & Responsibilities sheets. This clarifies accountabilities, dependencies, and decision rights across the enablement, execution, and support functions.
With the workflow defined, Tracking Sheets identify each function’s top ten performance metrics tied directly to the company’s True North objectives. Metrics are monitored monthly at operating committee meetings attended by all functional leaders. This creates transparency in performance and alignment on priorities. When metrics go “red,” indicating issues, executives use A3 reports to succinctly define problems and action plans on a single page. This facilitates rapid problem-solving and continuous improvement.
The new rhythm of business activities accelerates transformation by engaging middle management, driving accountability, and enabling the organization to nimbly adjust to opportunities and challenges.
