From experts at McKinsey Company''s world-renowned growth
practice comes a highly practical, field-tested approach to
initiating and sustaining growth in companies of all sizes. .
Growth unleashes benefits beyond the economic. It revitalizes
organizations and invigorates the people in them, creating energy,
a sense of purpose, and the glow of being on a winning team. Like
the alchemy of old, it seeks to transform the everyday into the
exalted by means that seem little short of magical. Yet growth is
often elusive, achieved at unacceptable costs, or managed in fits
and starts. Based on over three years of research and application
at high-performing companies around the world, The Alchemy of
Growth is a comprehensive, practical approach to initiating,
achieving, and sustaining profitable growthtoday and tomorrow. As
the book shows, the secret is to manage business opportunities
across three time horizons at once: extending and defending core
businesses, building new businesses, and seeding options for the
future. The Alchemy of Growth offers managers at all levels the
tools and concepts for investing in the right initiatives,
capabilities, and talent to propel their companies into the
future.
