Growth Without a Safety Net

Some of my favorite roles have been intrapreneurial: entrepreneurial but inside established companies. Building new business lines. Launching initiatives from scratch. Creating momentum where none existed. 

But here’s the reality: most small and mid-sized company leaders don’t get that kind of cushion. They operate without a safety net. 

The Gap in “Growth Expertise” 

Many growth and operations consultants come from large systems integrators. 

They know scale. They know process. They know how to optimize within established and often bureaucratic infrastructure. But: 

• Have they led teams where every hire mattered? 

• Where one missed pipeline target had real consequences? 

• Where there was no brand halo to fall back on? 

Even when consultants have supported small businesses, key questions remain: 

• Have they actually doubled or tripled revenue there? 

• While worried about making payroll? 

• Answering to a demanding mid-sized owner and board? 

That’s a different level of accountability.

At H&A, our experience is built differently. Each member of our consulting team comes to the table with: 

• Minimum 10 years of hands-on experience. 

• Work across small businesses, complex organizations, new and legacy companies.

• Adaptability: We integrate quickly into existing teams and cultures.
