Scaling for Excellence - The Problem of More

What is Scaling for Excellence ?

Scaling for excellence is the practice of spreading excellent performance to more people and more places.

Scaling is a MARATHON and not a sprint. There is a fine balance between persistence and quick wins. Thus, one must have endurance to overcome obstacles and road blocks.

Tips when scaling up

1. Communicating scaling initiatives - ensure you communicate your scaling efforts in way that motivates the business to want to scale and be apart of the efforts

2. Focus on reduced complexity - try to prevent adding too much complexity before its necessary

3. People matter - having people with excellent skills and training is not sufficient, one needs a team that will take accountability too

4. Diversity - a diverse team will assist your efforts in many different departments, location and functions in a business

5. Beware of the bad - rumors/destructive behaviors can set back scaling initiatives thus must be addressed with vigilance and perseverance
