SUMMARY

Predictable Success is the fourth stage in any organization’s development, after Early Struggle, Fun and Whitewater.

Predictable Success is achieved by introducing the systems and processes needed for the organization to conquer complexity and get out of Whitewater.

When in Predictable Success, the organization is at its prime and can readily set and consistently achieve its goals.

Theoretically, if the right balance of systems and processes is maintained, there is no reason why an organization cannot remain in Predictable Success indefinitely.

Allowing the newly introduced systems and processes to lapse (or to be bypassed) can lead to the organization sliding back into Whitewater.

Introducing too many systems and processes, or depending on systems and processes to substitute for initiative and creativity, will push the organization forward into Treadmill.

Management’s key role is to maintain the right balance between vision and process so the organization remains in Predictable Success.

The ability to make and implement decisions with relative ease in turn builds a competitive advantage, as the organization slowly institutionalizes its ability to succeed.

Management must explain, support and model the actions necessary for the organization to remain in Predictable Success, particularly the adherence to necessary process.

Some of those who grew the business during Fun and Whitewater may leave when the organization hits Predictable Success and a new culture of cross-functional decision making takes hold.
