Reviews

"Every company that sets itself a growth trajectory worries about the very real danger of stalling.What makes this critical is that most companies do not realize it even as they encounter stall points. Stall Points captures this dilemma perfectly. Based on the experience of several organizations across the world, the authors have produced a compelling piece of research.The key takeaway for me personally is the need to build an organization that will identify stall points either before or as they occur, so that corrective action can be taken to put the company back onto its original growth trajectory."-Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries, "This book was a real call to action for us at Caterpillar as we needed to break through the $20 billion stall point in our top line. I recommend this book to every business leader who wants to maintain high growth or recover from a growth stall."-David B. Burritt, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Caterpillar Inc., "A timely book for executives, learning professionals, and strategists concerned with their organizations' health in the current economy."-Ann Pace, T+D Training & Development, " Stall Points is well-researched and clear on causes, clues, and management practices that are relevant and critical focus areas for board discussion."-Dina Dublon, Former Chief Financial Officer, JPMorgan Chase, "Executives, by nature, have trouble seeing bad news coming. Despite endless discussion and development of strategy, too many lessons are learned after the fact. WhatStall Pointsuniquely offers is the ability to see problems before they arrive, in time to do something about them. Strategic insight before the fact is what the business world sorely lacks, and what this book offers."-Daniel O. Leemon, Former Chief Strategy Officer, Charles Schwab Corporation, "A timely book for executives, learning professionals, and strategists concerned with their organizations' health in the current economy."ï¿½Ann Pace, T+D Training & Development, "This book was a real call to action for us at Caterpillar as we needed to break through the $20 billion stall point in our top line.I recommend this book to every business leader who wants to maintain high growth or recover from a growth stall."-David B.

Synopsis

Very few large companies manage to avoid stalls in revenue growth. These stalls are not attributable to the natural business cycle. Rather, careful analysis reveals that the vast majority of such stalls are the direct result of strategic choices made by corporate leaders. In short, stoppages in growth are almost always avoidable. This extensively researched book analyzes the growth experiences of more than six hundred Fortune 100 companies over the past fifty years to identify why growth stalls and to discover how to rectify a stall in progress or, even better, avoid one. Board members and executives in companies of all sizes will find this book a practical and essential resource. Matthew S. Olson and Derek van Bever investigate the incidence and consequences of growth stalls in major corporations, then probe the root causes. Examining hundreds of stall points, the authors conclude that the greatest threat to a company's growth is posed by obsolete strategic assumptions that undermine market position, and by breakdowns in innovation and talent management. The study includes a selection of practices for articulating and monitoring strategic assumptions and concludes with a self-test built around fifty "Red Flag" warning signs of an impending growth stall. Top Four Reasons a Firm May Stall: * Premium position captivity * Innovation management breakdown * Premature core abandonment * Talent shortfall, Very few large companies manage to avoid stalls in revenue growth.
