After just two two-day working sessions, my husband and I, as founders, along with our management team, formulated the strategy for Transylvania College for the coming years. The results came in record time: within the first 9 months, the number of students grew by 40% after 7 years of stagnation. Just 2 years after the program, we completed the campus. Today, the College is the most sought-after school in Romania and ranks among the top 4 Cambridge Schools in the world.

The implementation of the Growth by Design model at FMS significantly improved our operational management and strategy, driving us toward higher profitability. This model enhanced our team's performance by aligning it with our objectives for operational excellence. Dan and Adi helped us clarify role definitions and focus on aligning strategy with daily tasks. The team's embrace of redefined roles energized our growth and profitability while boosting their engagement, motivation, and accountability. The Growth by Design model proved invaluable in orchestrating our performance system and ensuring strategic clarity, marking a significant shift in our operations.

The leadership team at RockThePost had the privilege of working with Dan. Before Dan's visit, RockThePost operated in a highly competitive space, trying to figure out how to add value in a unique way. Working with Dan, we experienced several breakthroughs that clarified the direction the company needed to take to become one of the leading online platforms in the startup investment space. Just three months after such a pivotal moment, the collective amount raised by startups launched on the RockThePost platform grew from $4 million to over $17 million. Dan's role was critical, and we will always be grateful for his contribution.

Adopting the Growth by Design model, guided by Dan and Adi, has been transformative. It helped us redefine our company and realign our vision, mission, and values to capitalize on new growth opportunities. As a shareholder, my objectives became an integral part of our strategic planning. The clear focus of Growth by Design raised our expectations and outcomes, ensuring the achievement of our 3-year growth goals. Seeing our leadership and staff aligned and actively engaged speaks volumes about how Growth by Design is the secret ingredient for systemic growth and radical change in any organization.
