Building a People Strategy That Scales With You

A people strategy that works at 20 people often breaks at 200. The fix isn't a bigger plan — it's principles that scale.

Plan capabilities, not just headcount

Growth needs new capabilities before it needs new headcount. Plan the skills the next stage demands, then decide whether to build, buy, or borrow them.

Design for the org you're becoming

Structure a little ahead of where you are. Roles and reporting lines should anticipate the next stage so you scale into them rather than constantly re-organising.
