Did you know?  Even in the best of times, 75% of startups fail, 5% grow to $10 million; under 2% hit $50 million.

The daily demands of a changing marketplace leave little time or internal resources available to objectively assess your business, rebuild your plan and assemble a team capable of driving business growth and improving performance. 

Scion's approach helps your team bridge this gap and navigate important stages of business growth: from startup to formalization and through maturity.

Strategy is at the core. When a business experiences complexity it is vital to take stock and engage the team in realigning direction, goals and strategies. We drive an efficient and pragmatic process: running business scenarios, moderating strategic working sessions and quarterly bootcamps.

Strategy is a ‘game plan for winning’.  Our approach enables your team to map out its moves to:  captivate customers, outwit the competition, manage margin pressures and increase long-term shareholder value. We work alongside you from innovation through execution. We also help you identify sources of funding, develop human capital and expand through M&A.

Detailed plans, strong governance and an experienced team are fundamental. Private and family businesses can experience unique circumstances: personal assets at stake; mulitple stakeholders; succession and exit planning. We have the knowledge and expertise to engage all stakeholders in driving decisions that are best for the business.

 

Case Study: Realigning for Growth. Repositioned business leads to 5 times growth in cash flow (EBIT) in 3 years; stable organization driving solid decision making and communications; divided owners working as cohesive company.

Case Study: Expanding Digital Sales Channel. Strategic repositioning of business model and brand, enables re-launch of an online marketplace.
