GROWTH STRATEGY SIMPLIFIED
Speaking

Build a Smarter Path to Expansion
Not all growth is good growth.
If your firm is expanding reactively—or not at all—it’s time to shift from guesswork to growth with intention. This session shows your team how to evaluate opportunities, align decisions with your firm’s vision, and build a practical, measurable growth strategy grounded in real market and operational insight.
Attendees will walk away with:
- A clear understanding of the four primary growth types—and how to evaluate which fits your firm’s goals.
- A practical guide to articulating your firm’s vision for growth—not just numbers, but meaningful transformation.
- A walk-through of The Flamingo Project’s 7-step growth strategy process, including market validation and stakeholder alignment.
- Tools to assess your firm’s readiness, risk tolerance, and resource capacity before pursuing new markets or services.
- An idea evaluation system that helps leadership make confident Go/No-Go decisions with cross-functional input.
Format and duration
This training is flexible and scalable. Bring it to your leadership team as a one-hour strategic overview, or expand it into a half-day growth strategy workshop to dig deeper and build your firm’s custom roadmap.
Why this session matters
Too often, growth becomes reactive, chasing trends or overextending resources. This training equips your leaders to grow with purpose, using a collaborative, research-backed approach that aligns internal vision with external market dynamics.
“I’m planning to use your template at my new company! Thank you for sharing your insights!”
