Phimation Strategy Group (Phimation), an Ann Arbor, Mich.-based management consulting firm specializing in the professional and organizational challenges facing Stage 2 small businesses, recently published the multi-media Stage 2 Owner’s Manual – Making the Transition from Entrepreneurship to Enterprise as a complement to its consulting services.
“It’s a major accomplishment for a small business to become sustainable and reach Stage 2,” said Phimation COO Randy Albert. “But that success is also a trap because further growth requires a new mindset. Our Owner’s Manual fills the gap between the wealth of information available to start-ups and large organizations by focusing specifically on the challenges of Stage 2.”
The Stage 2 Owner’s Manual features key concept articles, cheat sheets, annotated slides, assessments and templates in one practical, multi-purposed package. It covers 12 topics of critical importance to Stage 2 leaders, including planning, sales, productivity and talent management. Each topic is covered in print, electronic and video formats to serve three purposes:
- It’s a reference guide for Stage 2 leaders to understand the complexities of their business.
- It’s a training manual to enhance the capabilities of Stage 2 management teams.
- It’s a business improvement playbook to help Stage 2 management teams solve their problems effectively and sustainably.
“As both a standalone package and as a platform for management training and coaching programs, the Stage 2 Owner’s Manual allows us to expand our impact significantly within a business segment that is vital to our economy,” said Phimation CEO Dave Haviland. “We can now help small business leaders grow, add jobs and achieve their goals at whatever level of support they need.”
