Growth Strategy

I am very amused reading this article from Enterprenuer Nov 2007. Key points from the article are:

Are you Growth minded? (Checklist developed by GE six sigma blackbelt)

1) Our Company has defined processes to tacked and fix customer complaints?
2) We constantly identify waste in our financial, production, time and materials processes and get rid of?
3) We spend more time and resources trying to generate new customers than to retain existing customers?
4) We balance capital efficiently between today's needs and long-term growth?
5) We have a defined process to develop, launch and expand products and services?
6) We've come up with clear growth goals, and we invest in the staff and processes needed to meet these goals?

Answer to any one question no would need to revisit growth strategy.
