About Predictable Success
“Les really captures the integration of key business processes, people, and leadership to consistently deliver a compelling vision, comprehensive plan, and profitable growth for the benefit of all stakeholders.”
Alan Mulally, CEO, Ford Motor Company
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:
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).

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.
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:
- public workshops
- in-house workshops
- consulting
- coaching
- licensed practitioners
If you and/or your team have busy schedules and find it hard to schedule large blocks of time together, then this is the best option for you:

If you want a road map to get to the next stage with your organization, I urge you to get on board with Les McKeown. Quite simply - there is no better, more intuitive, results-focused business growth process than Predictable Success!
David Allen
He's got it right. Les McKeown has uncovered the core dynamics of organizational growth, and mapped it to the best (and worst!) practices to achieve and maintain optimal, in-your-zone conditions - no matter where a group is in its evolution. This is real-world expertise, with simple but subtle and sophisticated prescriptions for all of us involved in getting things done with other people. And, oh yeah, he nailed how to address some key opportunities in my own company.
Keith Ferrazzi
Les McKeown has an intuitive understanding of why and how business works. 'Predictable Success' is practical and easy to understand - exactly what any executive needs to grow his business,

John Estabrook
The Predictable Success model vastly accelerated our success, and saved us from a multitude of potential ‘dead-ends’. I thoroughly recommend Les McKeown for any business wanting to break through to the next stage in growth.
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.
