"I can challenge almost any management team in any company to cut costs 10% in a year, and they would know exactly how to do that--what data to go grab, how to analyze it and how to set stretch objectives. They'd distribute responsibility for those goals and initiate projects and programs. And--boom, they'd find a way to meet that challenge.

But if you ask management teams to grow a business 10% a year, they don't have a clue. They'd say well, it would take some luck and we'd have to do some trial and error. But if the market isn't growing, there's just no way we could do it."

Michael Treacy, former MIT business school professor and author of Double Digit Growth and The Discipline of Market Leaders

The reason Mr. Treacy's comment is all to often true is because companies are organized to manage cost, not growth. Our managers have control over their piece of the organization, they have detailed budget information, and they can see who is productive and who is under utilized. Our functional organization has the power and information to manage costs, but as these organizations get larger coordination across functions becomes more difficult. This is the cost focused world that most organizations live in today.

Achieving growth requires a coordinated increase in throughput across the business system. Engineering, manufacturing, marketing and sales all have to be operating together as a team to maximize throughput through the pipeline.

Growth is a team sport. Management teams that are able to translate this insight into practice are able to realize fantastic profitable growth.
