Bah humbug! I’m tired of hearing about how much business and leadership is going to change in the “World 2.0.” It’s not. The fundamental principles of good business transcend the effects of COVID-19, the shift to work from home, new technologies, and all the other changes we’re living with now. To be sure, if you own cruise ships, an airline, or a live concert venue, you’ll have to deal with serious changes to your business models for a while.

Reading Time: 4 minutes. At the most basic level a consulting engagement (or any strategic project) will typically contain three-phases: Structure and propose a strategy. Implement and execute on the strategy. Track the performance of the strategy. Phase 1 and 2 are where the consultants spend most of their time, but phase 3 is also an essential part of the project to measure the success of a strategy and adjust any tactical recommendations where needed.

As I’m writing this email from just outside Seattle, there’s a ton of smoke from the forest fires that are all over the western United States. It looks like the end of the world. Between the pandemic and terrible air quality, it’s not safe to be indoors with others and now it’s not safe to be outdoors either. For many of my friends, neighbors, and acquaintances, the cumulative impact of these stressors has taken its toll.

People who have communities, formal or informal, have been far more successful during the pandemic restrictions. By “successful” I don’t mean sustaining themselves, or minimizing losses, I mean growing their businesses.

Today, I want to introduce you to (or perhaps remind you of) the concept of the minimum efficient scale. Let’s take a look at what this phrase means. First, the word “scale” refers to size. In the software startup world, “to scale up” means to “get big fast.”. In economics, economists talk about “economies of scale.” It is the notion that, as a company gets bigger, it is able to achieve cost savings through its “scale” or the size of its operations.

However, the question becomes much easier to answer once you ask yourself, which is more integral to helping your organization reach its mission and achieve its vision.
