Introduction

Businesses have life cycles and knowing the stage of growth is important. As an entrepreneur, it is important to constantly review the business strategy, model and processes with a view to improving and growing the business. 

The business world is changing at a fast pace: technology keeps evolving, customer trends are changing, new market regulations are being launched on a regular basis, and businesses have to cope with unprecedented global crises. Companies that are inflexible, slow to adapt, see growth opportunities and willing to implement changes are most likely to be outcompeted by agile competitors and even disappear. That's why preparing for change should be one of your top priorities.
