Why nine Keys and not a growth score
A single score tells you how you feel. Nine scores tell you where to start.
Every IT services firm is strong somewhere and leaking somewhere else. The Loading Growth Wheel puts shareholder value at the centre and nine Keys around it: Loading Growth, Sales, Clients, Rates and Services, then Growing IP, A Team, Leaders and Market. Six questions per Key, drawn from 150+ coaching engagements, are enough to find the one that is quietly costing you margin or value.
Start the next 90 Day Sprint with your weakest two Keys, not your favourite one.
