Company Growth

Rough Draft:
I was talking to an acquaintance that I know from church who works for a Project Management firm. This firm, called ActivPlan, regularly sends people all over the world to perform Project Management services for numerous types of industries.

His observation: Companies have various stages of growth. There is the initial mcri-company startup. Then there's a painful growth stage between 25-50 people, then there's another ata round 200 people, and so on.

It's a common a repetitive pattern. More management is required at various stages, more formal processes and policies are required, people begin to specialize, etc. It's interesting to see the parallels at AV-Base.
