Growth Planning

There are many ways that the AEI Centre can assist your business to grow:

  • Growth through product development
  • Growth through sales
  • Growth through international trade
  • Growth through technology
  • Growth through strategic sourcing
  • Growth through strategic partnering

Your business will survive, grow and flourish by selling more to more people. This may be selling more of your existing products or services to existing customers, or it can be selling new products or services and/or acquiring new customers or markets.

Most businesses need to grow in order to survive, but growth needs to be planned carefully.

Once you have assessed your current strengths, weaknesses and opportunities you can move on to building a strategy for growth.

It is important to evaluate whether you want to consolidate your business' position or find ways to grow. If you decide that your priority is growth then you need to plan carefully if you are to succeed. Growth has its risks, but the right strategy can deliver stability, security and long-term profits.

Once you have assessed the current strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to your business and how well it's equipped to handle them, you can move on to the next stage

Building a strategy for growth

Before you start selecting options for growth or planning your growth, it pays to make sure you are clear on what you want to do.

The important point: Identify what your business is good at and to build on that. It's all too easy to believe your own sales literature, but your customers may think you are good at something else. Why not ask them? They will soon tell you.
