by rob nixon<\/i><\/p>\n the new growth equation means you need different skill sets. you will need a different structure to create, market, sell and deliver the new services to new and existing services. and you will definitely need different people involved.<\/p>\n more on strategy: <\/b>be a history maker<\/a> | growth is all about the clients<\/a> | change is on the horizon<\/a> | order takers and history writers<\/a> | why old pricing models are unethical<\/a> | 8 ways to improve firm profits<\/a> | 17 killer questions for prospects<\/a> the traditional “partnership” model is one of a silo model. often it has been described as “accountants sharing rent.” see the diagram above for an illustration.<\/p>\n i have a cynical view as to why the silo model exists \u2026 so it can be pulled apart very quickly if the partnership doesn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n the issue is that even if there is one logo and brand on the business card there are separate practices operating behind it. the separation means that unless the partner (or team member in the partners silo) can perform the project themselves, they will not internally refer to others. there are different services being delivered, multiple “bosses,” multiple and erratic marketing methods, different ways of doing the same type of work, different pricing mechanisms and overall inefficiencies everywhere.<\/p>\n enter the new corporate model: one that has one ceo who is given the authority to run the business as he\/she sees fit, to oversee the people who are creating products and services, the marketing specialists, the salespeople who sell and manage client relationships, the logistical management people who keep the office environment moving and working and of course the delivery people (fee-delivering professionals) to do the work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n each of the five key areas needs differing skill sets and disciplines.<\/p>\n now before you think \u201cwe are not big enough to justify hiring all of these people,\u201d you need to realize that all the positions in the organizational chart need to be done by someone. there may be some “multi-hat wearing” going on and that\u2019s ok as you grow into the structure. you may also need to outsource some of the roles until you can justify a full-time (or part-time) person to fulfill the position. your goals, courage and resources will determine how quickly you can grow into the new structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" your new org chart has 5 key areas.<\/strong><\/a>your new org chart has 5 key areas.
