The 7 Essentials^SM Workshop

Is there a structured approach to a business development growth strategy? This is a question that drew David Thomson to create the 7 Essentials^SM Workshop and 7 Essentials^SM Scorecard in order to provide a structured approach to creating a business development and growth strategy.

There are seven elemental management practices common to exceptional growth within Blueprint Companies, independent of industry. The 7 Essentials^SM elements are the "Blueprint" that management teams, or business development leaders, utilize to achieve exponential revenue growth. In fact, over 90% of Blueprint Companies utilize five or more of the practices identified in the 7 Essentials^SM Workshop. Employing these essential elements will unlock your company's exponential growth potential. Think of these elements as the "seven habits of exceptional growth companies."

This 7 Essentials^SM Workshop is designed to help your company or business unit benchmark how it is currently performing against each of the functions I have identified as key to propelling your organization toward exponential growth — and to create an actionable growth plan to close this gap. The main end-product of the 7 Essentials^SM Workshop will be to develop a 7 Essentials^SM Scorecard and a 7 Essentials^SM Roadmap that will transform your company's growth strategy by benchmarking growth strategies and action plans against each of these key elements. This customized 7 Essentials^SM Roadmap will become your plan to turn these insights into the actions required to achieve exponential growth!

The 7 Essentials^SM Workshop is for standalone public or private companies or business units that want to achieve exponential revenue growth with returns. This one-day workshop is both action oriented and inspirational, with lots of problem solving and discussion. If the workshop is for a small group of 5 or so companies, then typically the CEO and COO/CFO or President of each of these divisions should participate.

USfalcon is a logistics company, primarily serving the US Army that is on a trajectory from a million to a billion: with current revenues of about $50M this company has over $300M in order backlog.

We like to say, "Think Big, be Big" and "Consider it Done". If you want your business to be big, you need to sign up for the 7 Essentials^SM Workshop," shares Peter Von Jess, CEO, USfalcon.
