“Gear up” means “to prepare for something that you have to do” or “to prepare someone else for something” (source: Cambridge Dictionary). To assess whether your company is prepared to grow, ask whether your management team has clear answers to 4 questions: Does the company offer something special enough to compel customers to spend money? The instinctive answer is “of course it does.” After all, a customer base exists and the company is stable, even if growth is slow.

Companies such as IBM are betting that mining of “big data” will take off in a huge way. Large companies have lots of money and resources, but how can you leverage data mining in a smaller organization?

Another “triplet” relationship exists with each company: technology, market and intellectual property. These aspects of innovative companies are the legs that support the stool upon which many companies position their future. Sure, there are many tactical company functions, but HR, administration, accounting and legal support growth, not lead it.
