  • Business Accelerator: ‘Growth for growth’s sake is not the right way’
    Nov 21 2024

    Growing and developing your brokerage shouldn’t be done on a whim. Careful and calculated planning is key to success. These themes were discussed in this episode of Business Accelerator with Alex Whitlock and Jason Back.

    Spurring growth isn’t cheap and leaders should be aware of the potential damage that can be done if not handled correctly. For example, Back said that human capital is a major expense. This is where outsourcing and offshoring can be beneficial.

    Leveraging tech can also be an effective way to scale growth. Utilising systems to streamline processes allows leaders to focus on the important and more forward-facing tasks of business development.
