THE ORGANIZATION IS
OPERATIONALLY IMMATURE

SKILLS' EMPHASIS SHIFTS
• A group of managers and staff who have been
hired and groomed to work well in small, tight
informal teams of people.
• They are geared toward working in a smaller

operating in a company of 20 people, are less
suitable for working in a company of 100
people.

HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVER

less adaptable, early stage start-up employees
leave and are replaced by SME geared
employees.

14. BSC DESIGNER
HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVER
• High employee turnover at this stage as the
less adaptable, early stage start-up employees
leave and are replaced by SME geared
employees.
• A lot of the knowledge and information used
to operate the business leaves with those
departing employees as documentation and
systems tend not to be a priority.

OBSTACLE
• The problem is that small business geared
senior managers are often not equipped to
communicate business goals in a larger more
established business.

communication and management than a
quarterly town hall meeting, to engage and
unify the efforts of a large work force.
