Predictable Success

If you want to radically accelerate the growth of your organization, and to become a better leader as you do so, then welcome to your new home.

Whether you lead a for-profit business, at cause- or faith-based organization, a charity, foundation, or even an NGO - whatever industry, market or audience you serve, then here at Predictable Success you'll find the perfect roadmap to sustainably grow your organization.

Specifically, we'll provide you with a time-tested, proven roadmap whether or not:

  • You're just getting started and / or haven't caught the growth wave yet.
  • You've experienced a period of growth then stalled out due to growing complexity.
  •  You have already achieved great growth and now want to scale.
  • Your organization grew - and scaled - in the past, but it has now become overly bureaucratic and lost it's entrepreneurial edge.

What We Do

No matter what type of organization you lead, whatever size it is, whatever your history as been, whatever market, industry or demographic you serve, your path to growth lies in these  five steps: 

FIND OUT WHERE YOU ARE

1

If you want to get somewhere, the first thing you need to know is where you are now.

We begin your journey to sustainable growth by pinpointing precisely where you are on the growth Lifecycle - the seven stages that every organization goes through.

DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT TO GO

Now you know where you are, we can turn to where you want to go to.


Again using the Predictable Success Lifecycle as our map, we'll identify clearly which stage you want to move two (hint: there are only two viable options).

2

PLOT YOUR CUSTOM ROAD MAP

3

So now we know your starting and ending points, we can plot your journey in precise detail.

This is no cookie-cutter 'strategic planning process' - our time-tested, proven process will take you step by step through the process of developing a highly implementable, detailed plan covering exactly what you need to do to get the growth you're looking for.

BUILD YOUR GROWTH TEAM

Even the greatest plan will fail if you don't have the right people executing it.


We'll show the exact formula for building the right team you need on every step of your journey to sustainable growth - and how and why the team needs to develop while you're on the journey.

EXECUTE ACCOUNTABLY

5

Do you know why most leadership teams fail to achieve sustainable growth?

Because they have to battle the day-to-day priorities and challenges of just running the organization in it's current state. We'll show you how to build an accountability framework that ensures you implement your Predictable Success growth plan.

Accountability

How We Do It

We recognize that not all leaders and leadership teams learn and execute in the same way, or work at the same pace, For this reason we provide our growth acceleration programs in a number of formats. Take a look and see which fits your needs best:

What They Say...

"...you can talk to Les for 5 minutes and it can save you 5 years."

I wish I'd had Les McKeown as a mentor earlier, especially in the crazy days of growth

To say Les knows his stuff is a huge understatement. He is a leading expert in his field. This runs in his blood. There is some serious gold here.

You can talk to Les for 5 minutes and it can save you 5 years. He will get you to think strategically about your growth by teaching you the questions to ask.

John Higman

Les helped us identify the changes we needed to make in how we were running the business, guided us each step of the way, and held us accountable for implementing the actions we agreed. With Les’s facilitation, we re-defined our management roles, brought in new expertise to the management team, and restructured our group interactions and communications. If you’re a business owner or a CEO looking to take your business to the next level, I’d strongly recommend you contact Les McKeown.

Meet Les McKeown

Les McKeown is the Founder and CEO of Predictable Success.


Les first began to recognize recurring growth patterns early in his career as a serial entrepreneur. In addition to being involved in the launch of more than 40 companies before he was 35, he was at the same time a founding elder in a fast-growing church, while serving on the board of a number of charities and not-for-profits.


Les used the experience he gained during that time to co-found one of the first business incubators in the world, which he and his then business partner developed over a decade into a multi-national consulting company that advised on the creation and growth of hundreds of organizations worldwide.


Struck by the similarity of issues faced by all growing organizations, Les began to codify his understanding of the repeating patterns of growth, publishing his Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller "Predictable Success: Getting Your Organization On the Growth Track - and Keeping It There" in 2010, followed in 2012 by "The Synergist: How to Lead Your Team to Predictable Success".


Les is a trusted advisor to fast-growth SMEs and thriving not-for-profits as well as Fortune 500 companies and a number of the largest government agencies in the world.
