No Two Strategic Plans Are Alike—But the Best Ones Share These Traits
One thing’s for sure: no two strategic plans are exactly the same. But well-designed plans do share a few critical elements. They start with the end in mind. They break the work into logical steps, assign primary accountability to a single leader for each step, and ensure complete transparency around the “what, why, and when.” Progress is tracked, the score is kept, and momentum builds. Because if we’re aiming to win, we’re running up the score.

1. New Report: 'Strategic Capacity Planning: Building Blocks for Growing Profits & Value'
When it comes to reporting, there are really only two kinds: the kind people want to read—and all the others. Let’s be honest, it takes a special kind of person to dig through pages of numbers. I have deep admiration for those who live for the details—fractional CFOs, I’m looking at you! They’re a vital part of the Growth-Drive community. But for many of us, our passion is operations: turning wrenches, fine-tuning systems, and transforming everyday engines into high-performance machines.
Race Engineer getting good news from engine data
That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Strategic Capacity Planning: Building Blocks for Growing Profits & Value. This framework isn’t about cookie-cutter strategies or endless spreadsheets. It’s about equipping business advisors with tools that CEOs respect and value—actionable insights that make growth tangible.
A New Standard in Strategic Reporting
Here’s a sneak peek from our report. If you’ve got another strategic report handy, I encourage you to print out this excerpt and compare the two. Ask yourself: Which report would your client rather read? Which one makes growing profits and business value actionable?
The difference isn’t just in presentation—it’s in purpose. This isn’t a report for the sake of reporting. It’s a tool to inspire action. And that’s where we see a huge opportunity for business advisors: leveraging tools like 90.io alongside Growth-Drive’s CLARITY Strategic Capacity & Business Value Analysis to drive measurable results from the very first conversation.
Building Transferable Business Value: The Ultimate Goal
Maximized transferable business value is the ultimate measure of business success. As business advisors, this is our North Star. It’s not just about helping businesses grow; it’s about ensuring they’re positioned to exceed private capital market expectations, attract investment, and demand top value when the time comes for a transaction.
Our role is to deliver wins—making the dreams of business owners come true. It might sound bold, but isn’t that what gets us out of bed every morning? This tribe of Growth-Drive advisors is united by a deep commitment to helping businesses achieve sustainably growing free cash flow. And yes, we’re having fun while we’re at it.
Strength to Strength
Growth-Drive’s Cohort One for deploying 90.io with clients kicks off next week. This is the next step in our shared mission of transforming businesses into best-in-class performers. I’m beyond grateful for everything this community is delivering to the market. Let’s keep building, keep growing, and keep winning. back to top
Let’s go! -George
