Structure experiments around clear predictions to focus efforts on learning rather than random changes and make results easier to interpret afterward.

The cockpit that sits above your four growth engines. Individual teams can excel at their own metrics, but without orchestration they're musicians playing different songs. This is where everything comes together and where improvements in one engine amplify gains in another.
The wrong tools create friction. The right ones multiply your output without adding complexity. These are the tools I recommend for growth teams that move fast.
Small improvements multiply. A 10% gain across twelve metrics doesn't add up to 120% - it compounds to 3x growth. This is the mathematical engine behind systematic growth.

Four decisions that shape everything else. When growth feels harder than it should, the problem is usually here. Get these right and execution becomes much easier.
Without rhythm, effort becomes scattered and progress invisible. A consistent operating cadence keeps your team aligned and your growth system continuously improving.

A disciplined approach to experiments. Define hypotheses, design MVPs and learn before you scale.
Random testing wastes time and teaches you nothing. Learn how to collect experiment ideas systematically and prioritise them based on potential impact so you always know what to run next.
Most experiments fail before they start because the hypothesis is vague or untestable. Learn how to write hypotheses that are specific enough to prove or disprove and tied to metrics that matter.
Deploy fast, low-cost experiments to discover scalable acquisition and retention tactics, learning through iteration rather than big bets.
Connect tools so data flows automatically between systems to eliminate manual entry, keep records current, and enable sophisticated workflows across platforms.
Organise the tools that capture leads, nurture prospects, and measure performance to automate repetitive work and connect customer data across systems.
Define pipeline progression steps to standardise how reps advance opportunities and give managers visibility into where deals stall or convert unexpectedly.
Focus your entire organisation on the single metric that best predicts success at your current growth stage, avoiding distraction and misalignment.
Scale through partner relationships where other companies distribute your product to their customers in exchange for commissions or reciprocal value.
Connect triggers to actions across systems so repetitive tasks happen automatically and teams can focus on work that requires judgement instead of admin.
Document your repeatable processes in clear, step-by-step instructions that ensure consistency, enable delegation, and capture institutional knowledge.
Assign credit to marketing touchpoints that influence conversions to understand which channels work together and deserve budget in multi-touch journeys.
Organise customer and prospect information to track relationships, communication history, and next steps without losing context or duplicating effort.
Navigate competing priorities and secure buy-in by systematically understanding, influencing, and aligning internal decision-makers toward shared goals.
Choose one metric that best predicts long-term success to align your entire team on what matters and avoid conflicting priorities that dilute focus.
Identify what you do better or differently that competitors can't easily copy to defend margins and win customers consistently over time.
Track revenue growth from existing customers through expansion and contraction to prove your product delivers increasing value over time.
Automate multi-touch email campaigns that adapt based on recipient behaviour to nurture leads consistently without manual follow-up from reps or marketers.
Compare two versions of a page, email, or feature to determine which performs better using statistical methods that isolate the impact of specific changes.
Log emails, calls, and meetings automatically to understand what drives deals forward and coach reps based on actual behaviour rather than guesswork.
Drive acquisition and expansion through product experience where users discover value before sales conversations and upgrade based on usage.
Cultivate belief that skills and results improve through deliberate effort, treating setbacks as learning opportunities rather than fixed limitations.
Track your user journey through Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, and Revenue to identify which stage constrains growth most.
