The Ascent Growth Story
We have always been fascinated by the natural phenomenon of growth. What makes us grow as individuals? How do we come together as a team, to achieve something significant, extraordinary? and in the process, make a lasting impact on our environment?
We found this to be in direct contrast to what we saw around us, in the world of consulting. We saw firms choosing scale over impact or significance, feeling compelled to ‘feed an army’ of professionals rather than promote sustainable growth.
While their clients were venturing into new markets, asking for solutions to new and fascinating challenges, and finding new ways of navigating a rapidly changing world, more consulting firms were choosing a predictable path, working in areas for which textbooks have already been written and touting methodologies as a safe path to walk.
Importance of Growth
We See it Differently
We Focus on Growth
We are often asked, why do we focus on ecosystem-driven growth? After all, challenges can be found in many corners of an organisation. Our answer is simple – The data points to it. As industry borders become porous, new forms of competition emerge and new technologies adopted at unprecedented scale, our ability to grow and transform not only matters, it is found at the edges of our organisation and its broader ecosystem. Over a 10-year period, organisations that leverage their broader ecosystem have outperformed their industry peers by nearly 2:1 (measured by Total Shareholder Returns).
Whether you find yourself at times of abundant opportunity or when navigating challenging times – discovering, preparing for and growing beyond border is essential to the long-term prosperity of your organisation.
