A growth plan becomes useful when it connects an opportunity to a specific customer need.
Define the customer, the problem and the reason your business can help. A clear proposition makes it easier to assess whether a new market or partnership fits your capabilities.
Identify what needs to be true for the opportunity to work. Consider the route to customers, the sales process, delivery capacity and the relationships you will need to build.
Choose a focused first initiative with an owner and a review point. Use the evidence from early conversations and delivery to refine the plan.
