What to expect
'A worthy successor to Michael Porter, Bova's book is that rare gift: it opens doors for new ideas and new actions. No glib answers here, simply hard-won wisdom that will provoke big changes for organizations large and small.' - Seth Godin, author of Linchpin
The Wall Street Journal Top Ten Bestseller: The 10 strategies to sustainable growth, based on a purpose-led culture for organizations large and small.
Tiffani Bova, the Growth and Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce, draws on her expertise as a consultant and practitioner to devise a new framework for business leaders looking to pursue growth. We're witnessing an age of endless customization, and growth strategy is no exception. There's no one size fits all strategy; a winning strategy for one business may spell doom for another.
In Growth IQ, Bova determines that there are ten simple – but easily misunderstood – growth paths, and explains how companies can get a handle on their particular business context, and use it to determine the right combination and sequence of growth paths to take them into the future.
Bova breaks down the strategies deployed by a wide range of companies to show you how:
* GE and John Deere have lasted over a century and continue to thrive by combining their strategy of innovative product development with a renewed focus on R&D and customer experience.
* Marvel transformed from a struggling comic book publisher to a global entertainment behemoth by realigning their market penetration strategy to focus on comic book characters, instead of just comic books.
* Gateway's attempt at market expansion into brick-and-mortar retail led to its failure, while the same move by Apple has accelerated its growth.
Whether your company is on a growth spurt, in a worrying stall, or showing signs of decline, Growth IQ is your map to charting the course of your company's future.
Critics Review
-
Too many companies foster cultures of burnout in the pursuit of short-term growth as an end in itself. Smart growth is sustainable growth and Tiffani Bova shows us how to maintain it by building a purpose-led culture and leveraging, instead of sacrificing, the dedication of your people.

I love this book. Thirty compelling stories, ten sound strategies and writing that flows like the Mississippi will add a ton to your stockpile of personal intellectual capital. Bravo Tiffani Bova!

Whether you’re planning to disrupt an industry or protect your company from competitors, Growth IQ shows how urgent it is to choose the right path. This choice can be overwhelming but Tiffani simplifies your options into ten proven paths and empowers you to embark upon the right one for you with confidence…and results. Our love affair with comfort zones can be our downfall; Tiffani reminds us that almost all the good stuff happens when we venture off the well-trodden trail into uncharted—and therefore uncertain—territory. With her guidance, we discover that the uncertainty need not be so daunting—through examples, savvy, deeply-experienced analysis and synthesis, and valuable checklists, Tiffani will provide a bump to anyone’s Growth IQ.

This book captures the essence of how to consistently grow an enterprise through relentless customer focus… Tiffani Bova is the quintessential story teller… leading us through a framework that gives structure to our growth strategy, As founder some of these things are innate… but this book is a valuable tool to inspire my leaders throughout each of our businesses. It made me giggle too, I remember my CFO asking (as we hit our growth stride)… "what is it that worked?” The answer of course is everything. We are in the 1% game now, looking and seeking growth of 1% from each of our initiatives - combined they deliver double digit growth annually. Thanks Tiffani for writing this down… a guide book for all leaders to inspire those around them.
