Five foundations of great ScaleUps – Lobster Tales by SUG Member Adam Hale

Serial entrepreneur, new ScaleUp Institute Chair and ScaleUp Group member Adam Hale has shared his experiences of leading and growing successful HRTech ScaleUp Fairsail in a series of “Lobster Tales”.

To find out why “The Lobster Tales” you need to read Adam’s truly illuminating articles of his ScaleUp Leadership journey – links below. Adam is continuing to Grow Global Champions by mentoring and advising leading ScaleUps – including ScaleUp Group clients.

“The Lobster tales” set out a framework of 5 foundations for every #ScaleUp which need to be delivered all well and concurrently. Adam’s view is that doing 3 or 4 well is not enough, the 5 #ScaleUp foundations ….

  1. Purpose – ‘What are you for?”
  2. Focus – “You don’t dominate a market by waiting for the phone to ring”
  3. Customer Success – “If customers aren’t successful what’s the point”
  4. Innovation & Solution – “Keep innovating all the time”
  5. Team – “Great businesses are made up of great people”

The structure of Lobster Tales is pretty much along this structure, each Tale has a link to the next. You could read from the first one ‘The End of the Beginning’.
