![]() It is not uncommon in the health care industry today for two or more parties to form an alliance for commercial and strategic purposes. “Strategic partnership” and “strategic alliance” are terms that are commonly referred to and are now very popular among health care consultants and advisers. In today’s health care landscape, consultants often advise independent hospitals to merge with a larger health system. The assumption is that a merger will make it easier to achieve economies of scale, develop a large but narrow network of preferably healthy patients, establish data registries, and integrate expensive technology.

If your business has a good online presence, you will be in the forefront of the new referral and relationship marketing systems. *Ameen Ahasan Strategy Consulting (AASC)* http://www.ameenahsan.com/ Experts in Taking Your Business to Next Levels.

Growth becomes faster and manageable. *Ameen Ahsan Strategy Consulting (AASC)* http://www.ameenahsan.com Experts in Taking Your Business To Next Levels Turning a small business into a big one is never easy. In other words, most businesses start small and stay there. If you recognize that staying small doesn't necessarily guarantee your business's survival— there are examples of companies out there that have successfully made the transition from start-up to small business to fully-thriving large business. Part of accomplishing t from A to B, is to put together a growth strategy that, "brings you the most results with least amount of risk and effort." Growth strategies resemble a kind of ladder, where lower-level rungs present less risk. The bottom line for small businesses, especially start-ups, is to focus on those strategies that are at the lowest rungs of the ladder and then progressively move your way up as needed. As you go about developing your growth strategy, you should first consider the lower rungs of what are known as Intensive Growth Strategies. Each new rung brings more opportunities for fast growth, but also more risk. “Market Penetration” is the lowest rung of the ladder. The least risky growth strategy for any business is to simply sell more of its present product to its existing customers—a strategy perfected by large consumer goods companies.

This is also the time of making "mistakes". When you make wrong decisions and pay for it heavily later. Usually when we are in strong growth phase, we become too occupied, over confident and short of quality resources. We mistakenly feel this growth will last forever. These weaknesses if not corrected, will shorten our growth period. Which is not good. As after growth phase is the plateau phase and then decline (failure). Business Growth Advisory @ Ameen Ahsan Strategy Consulting info@ameenahsan.com +91-7558-900-800 Please share to all Entrepreneurs Almost all businesses start with a big fall. That is periods of losses and other issues. An entrepreneur during early days focuses more on keeping his business alive.
But once that phase is over, then comes the growth phase. Phase when you can grow and expand. When you can increase market share, production and even number of outlets. But many businesses do not make use of this opportunity, stating various reasons, like 1.Fear of economic slowdown 2.Not enough management staff 3.Production capacity not enough 4.Not seeing a scope for growth 5.Too busy with operations to think of new ones 6.Lack of funds All these might sound genuine reasons. But it's not so. There is solution for each of the above hindrances. What you first need, is a change in mindset. Then you will be able to find a solution for each of the above. Solutions might be time consuming, requiring significant effort and sometimes even investment. But if successful, it's really worthwhile. Best of luck for you and your enterprises!

They feel that in an uncertain market what is the point of planning.
But the truth is long term planning gives us focus. It gives us strength to stay on path when extra ordinary good or bad things happen to our business. It's gives us the direction. This does not mean we should never change our plan. We should have a long term goal, mentioned in specific terms like 10 showrooms in 10 years or so. And we should review our action plan every quarter to ensure new internal or external conditions is not putting us off track. There are reasons why businessmen who wants to grow, still don't plan long term. They are either afraid of their plans not realising hence a sense of failure or do not know how to plan. Businessman should not have fear of failure. He should be brave. But if they do not know how to plan, then engage strategy consultants or experts who can help you plan.
