Profitable
Growth
Every entrepreneur works to implement choices that target growth. Not all of them, however, refer to profitable growth.
The difference consists in the distinction between revenue and profitability. Both terms are accounting metrics in the analysis of a company’s financial success, but there are distinct differences between the two.
Revenue is an absolute value determined by the amount of income and expenses incurred by a company. Regardless of size, scope of business, or sector in which it operates, the goal of a company is always to generate revenue.

Higher revenue doesn’t always mean higher profit
Although a company can generate a higher revenue, this does not necessarily mean that it generates a higher profit. While revenue is an absolute value, profitability is relative. It is the metric used to determine the extent of a company’s profit in relation to the size of the business. Profitability is a measure of efficiency and, therefore, of the success or failure of the company itself.
We often underestimate the signals that indicate an inefficient use of resources and capital. Some risks are hidden, for example, in moving away from the core business, opening up to new markets or managing cash conversion, and risk may also be present in acquisitions and operating processes that have not been reviewed for some time.
To increase profit, focus on increasing efficiency…
…with the right people. Your company growth will only be profitable when you simultaneously reduce costs and increase efficiency. However, realising such fundamental changes that affect both employees and managers takes a lot of courage, commitment and expertise.
Redefining roles and letting go of the security that comes with the tried and trusted presents a serious risk. Creating the necessary motivation and reducing the risk takes a seasoned executive with an outside-in perspective, who has already successfully managed comparable situations.
