Organizational growth is specifically for small businesses. It introduces them to licensing, new markets, joint ventures and alliances, and new product development.

Setting goals can inspire organizational growth, especially if leadership and employees are held accountable to those metrics, i.e. sales, profit, customer base growth, etc.

The stages include New Venture, where the objective is to find a workable business model, Early Growth, with an emphasis on marketing, Rapid Growth, focused on scaling the company upward and Sustainable Growth to become established and lasting.

There's a couple factors to take into consideration here. First, what is the scale of growth? Second, what is the rate or growth? The answer to the first question will inform what steps need to be taken, and the answer to the second will inform you to how quickly you need to act.
