In the business world, growing companies are often envied. Most people worry about increasing customers, sales and profits; not about being too successful. But that's a serious concern if your supplies or service can't keep up with market demand, if you don't have strategies to deal with growth or if you have not planned your seccession or exit strategies.
In this quarter's instalment of Business in Vancouver's Business Excellence Series, we examine what it takes to build a company and grow it successfully and how to avoid the pitfalls that come with expansion.
Accompanying the business growth edition is a breakfast on the same topic with speakers Natalia Venida, manager, MNP; Neil Belenkie, CEO, GrowthPoint Group; and Amielle Lake, founder, Tagga Media.
The breakfast takes place September 26, 7-9 a.m., at the Marriott Pinacle Downtown. Attendees are invited to stay after the panel discussion for bonus break-out sessions – led by Vancouver business experts from 9:15 a.m.–10:15 a.m. – to delve more deeply into the panel topics.
