It's Time Operations Commanded More Attention
“According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, 70% of small business fail by year 10, and at any given time 20% of small businesses have paid employees. While the challenge of scaling and sustaining a small business are numerous, many just don’t know what it takes to wire a business for growth.” – Kelly Burton, CEO, Nexus Research Group
THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM
Some small businesses fail not from the lack of customers, but from far too many. In their attempt to attract an influx of customers via smart branding, they erect, whether intentionally or not, a façade. This façade becomes a problem when their inability to align capability with capacity becomes the norm and not the exception. Is it possible to save these fast-growing businesses from implosion?
ROOT CAUSES
The desire to hide the painful realities of fast-growth finds business owners at the mercy of their customers and other stakeholders as they struggle to fulfill orders and meet deadlines without compromising quality. Alicia argues this is the result of an imbalance in one or more of three laws: Supply & Demand, Conservation, and Polarity.
THE FAST GROWTH PREDICAMENT
Alicia Butler Pierre draws on her 13 years of experience as both a consultant and an entrepreneur to answer this very question. She describes this type of hyper-growth as a “predicament”, suggesting that there is hope. Behind the Façade is a guide on how to prepare for (and recover from) the fast growth predicament.
BUSINESS INFRASTRUCTURE IS KEY
Unfortunately, when these owners proactively seek resolution, they often find that manufacturing and larger enterprises have access to the lion’s share of operations management resources. The solution these small businesses require lies in a business infrastructure that defines the people, processes, and tools necessary to match customer perception to operational reality.
An Inside Look at Behind The Façade
Alicia Butler Pierre has painstakingly assembled an accurate list of many nuanced problems facing growing companies, an easily summarized condition I describe as, ‘we’re not as good as we want you to believe we are.’ I highly recommend reading this book as both a solution for stumbling business managers grappling to catch their breath and survive, or as preventive medicine for those managers that recognize the need for some real-world tactical lessons that didn’t come with their MBAs.

A refreshing and enlightening reality check for any sized business. Behind the Façade opens us up to the reality and challenges every business leader has, but doesn’t want revealed for fear of being considered weak. This is a book of strength through humility. It even inspired me to restructure certain parts of my business. Great motivational read and breath of fresh air!
