Carlsbad • New York • Beijing • Kolkata
During the second half of 2008, Fortune and Fortune Small Business hosted the "Fortune High Growth Series" events in Carlsbad, New York, Beijing and Kolkata.
Against the backdrop of the U.S. election and the global economic crisis, Fortune editors interviewed senior executives from companies that have experienced a "seismic event" which instantly accelerated to hyper-growth. Sudden, disruptive changes raise fundamental questions about investments in human, capital, and other resources. Depending on the operational and strategic decisions the leaders make, this turning point can propel the organization through a rapid succession of growth barriers or lead to a fast demise.
Sixteen executives at the core of their organizations' successful transitions through such seismic events shared their insight into the growth stages that followed.
