Enterprises & Entrepreneurship
Supporting founders and enterprises to build strong foundations, make informed choices and grow sustainably.
Founders and enterprises operate in environments shaped by customer needs, market opportunities, competition, technology, access to finance, networks and economic conditions. Enterprises develop through different stages, from establishment and early market entry to growth and organisational maturity. Sustainable progression depends on both the development of the enterprise and the capability of the founder, supported by clear strategic choices, viable business foundations, relevant knowledge and appropriate systems.

Understanding the enterprise environment
Founder and enterprise needs change across establishment, development, growth and organisational maturity.
Clear understanding of customers, markets, value proposition and competitive position supports stronger business choices.
Business models and underlying assumptions need to be tested against market evidence and changing conditions.
Finance creates more value when the enterprise is ready to use it effectively and has a viable route to customers and markets.
Business systems, structures, people and leadership need to develop as the enterprise grows and complexity increases.
Networks, partnerships, market access, knowledge and learning can extend the capabilities and opportunities available to founders and enterprises.
Questions to Consider
Questions that shape enterprise development
What stage of development is the enterprise in, and what does that stage require from both the business and the founder?
Who are our customers, what need are we addressing and what distinguishes our value proposition?
Which assumptions underpin our business model, market position and growth plans, and what evidence supports them?
Do we have the capabilities, systems, resources and relationships required for the enterprise's current and next stage?
What finance, markets, partnerships or networks could support sustainable progression, and how prepared are we to use them?
How does the founder's capability need to develop as the enterprise grows and the demands of leadership change?
