The full baseline of your business.
The Growth Gap Analysis goes a level deeper than the Ambition Conversation. We review your financial and operational data and how the business really runs, to build the full baseline. It shows what needs to follow, and which solutions to deploy in your Growth Accelerator programme.
Illustrative baseline for a fictional company, scored 1 to 5.
What it takes, and what you get.
About three weeks: data gathered remotely, two days on site, playback in week two or three

Ten areas, one baseline.
Together they show where the business is today, what is holding it back, and what needs to happen next.
Revenue, margin and cost trends, from your own numbers.
How the business actually runs, day to day.
How many customers, products and processes you carry, and what that costs.
A high-level view of your systems and how well they join up.
The processes that slow people down or cause rework.
How prices are set, governed and reviewed.
The plans already in place for your most important customers.
How new business is found, tracked and forecast.
Whether the numbers can be trusted, and where they come from.
Where the business is heading, and how that cascades through the team.
Four parts, one clear picture.
Each part looks at the business from a different angle, so the plan rests on evidence rather than opinion.
Team online diagnostic
Each senior executive completes the Group Diagnostic, so we understand each person's view of the business, its strategy, focus, growth and operations before we meet.
Data analysis
You upload your financial and operational data through our secure portal. Our analytics engine and data specialists then show you the business from a new angle.
Stakeholder interviews
One-to-one discussions with the executive team, covering each role, to understand the leadership vision, how aligned the team is, the challenges and the ambition.
The playback
A full review of the business, the leadership picture and the growth opportunities, with a practical proposal and your next steps.
What needs to follow.
Every finding points to one of the five pillars of the Growth Accelerator, so your programme is built on what we found, not on a template.
About three weeks, start to finish.
Most of the work happens remotely. We ask for two days on site, and the playback comes in week two or three.
