Our Approach
The 3D-S Growth Roadmap
Every SBM engagement follows the 3D-S Growth Roadmap. We start with the entrepreneur: your vision and the way you make decisions. We then work on the business: its brand, its market, its processes and its systems.
The four phases of the 3D-S Growth Roadmap
01
Diagnose
Scale Readiness Assessment
Score your business across the five pillars to find what is working, what is not and what to address first.
02
Design
Your roadmap
Turn the assessment results into a prioritised plan built around your market and your goals.
03
Deliver
Execution and growth
Implement alongside your team: coaching, building systems and solving problems as they arise.
04
Scale
Governance and handover
Build on what is working and put leadership structures in place for the next stage of growth.
Phase 01
Diagnose: Scale Readiness Assessment
We conduct the Scale Readiness Assessment before we advise anything. It scores the business across the five pillars: leadership, financial health, operations, market position and growth capacity.
- A score for each of the five pillars
- The readiness band the business is in
- The quick wins to start with
- The foundation for your roadmap
Phase 02
Design: your roadmap
Your assessment results become a roadmap: a plan built around your market and what you are trying to achieve.
- A growth plan aligned to your goals
- Milestones you can measure
- A resource allocation plan
- Risk awareness built in from the start
Phase 03
Deliver: execution and growth
We work alongside you to implement: coaching, building systems and solving problems as they come up.
- Practical implementation support
- Regular progress reviews and adjustments
- Capability building within your team
- Systems your team can repeat without you
Phase 04
Scale: governance and handover
We help you build on what is working and put leadership structures and governance in place.
- A growth plan that does not exceed your capacity
- Leadership structures that grow with the business
- A plan for revenue diversification and market entry
- Governance, measurement and handover to your team
