I’ve always appreciated systems-based approaches to solving problems, because they facilitate scaling. More specifically, creating thoughtful processes can enable high Growth Endurance – the subject of this Substack series – which means sustaining 70-100% growth rates even once you’re approaching $100M in ARR.
Shishir Mehrotra, Co-Founder and CEO at Coda, has spoken and written extensively about company “rituals.” I was curious to hear his take on how strong rituals can help companies grow fast for many years in a row — and I’m glad I did, because this conversation was jam-packed with actionable suggestions. We covered questions such as:
* What rituals can help companies tackle new revenue streams — new product launches, new geographies, or acquisitions?
* How should you adapt your rituals as you grow?
* If you’re looking to “get in shape” with respect to rituals, where should you start?
