The Five Conditions Assessment
While small businesses are a critical driver of economic growth, they often lack the right systems, structures and behaviors to propel them from the post-startup phase into the middle market and help them achieve consistent and sustainable growth. Business owners, policymakers, investors and the media can gain insights on the conditions necessary for stability and growth in post-startups by reading The Five Conditions Assessment, a study from TrueSpace and ºÚÁÏÍø.
Based on data from almost 2,500 U.S. business owners, the report sheds light on the operating conditions that foster sustainable growth among post-startup companies. The results are based on a new quantitative survey developed by TrueSpace and ºÚÁÏÍø called the Five Conditions Assessment (5CA). The Five Conditions -- Alignment, Discipline, Predictability, Endurance and Value Creation -- present a new picture of how businesses scale and create jobs.
Discover the impact of these operating conditions on post-startup companies, regardless of their industry or age, and the power they have in predicting growth.
