Maybe you even have your eye on an initial public offering. To plan for your IPO, or even attract funding from banks or venture capitalists, you need to prepare for the rigorous demands of the financial markets and investors.

Over the past two weeks, we have been making a case that the “SMB” label is outdated and irrelevant. Using digital technologies in unique combinations, businesses of all sizes can create compelling value at scale. The most accurate and useful description of a business is value-equivalence. Rather than asking, “How large is your enterprise?” the question of the future is, “how does your organization contribute value to the world’s digital economy?” As I have pointed out in...

As I wrote in Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, businesses of all sizes are searching for new ways to make money and create entirely new revenue streams. For those organizations previously known as “SMBs,” I would propose there are three ways to participate in a digital ecosystem, and produce value equivalent to the largest organizations in the digital economy: Speed Accuracy Network reach In terms of digital business, “accuracy” is providing the right insight for the right...

As I discussed in my previous post, businesses of all sizes are searching for new ways to make money and create entirely new revenue streams. Because of the mobile, cloud and analytics technologies available to all firms, smaller businesses create value that is sometimes equivalent to the value created by large enterprises. Therefore, the most accurate and useful way to describe companies of all sizes, is through the value they produce. Rather than asking, “How large is your...

Would you believe it if I told you the “SMB” label is outdated? As measurements go, “annual revenues” or “number of employees” are now irrelevant. By traditional economic standards, the size of an organization dictates its scale and impact on the economy. However, because of digital technologies—which blur the boundaries between physical and virtual services—smaller companies can produce as much value as larger companies operating in the old economy. The unique combination of...

Owning a business has always be a part of the American dream. In fact, over 60 percent of employees would rather start their own business than work for someone else. In a way, that is understandable. Who would not want to make the rules and be in charge of their own schedule and responsibilities? But if your company cannot move past its one good idea and grow over time, then you have started a fad and not a company. So what are the challenges that small and medium business...
