Many organizations are struggling to grow and survive!
What could be the reasons?
Go back in the timeline and ask some fundamental questions.
1. Did you configure it for small beginning?
2. Did you select parameters which were suitable for small firms?
3. Did you build culture, value, leadership mindset and processes for small?
If your answers to these questions are 'Yes', then probably you got your answer to your key question?
If you still couldn't find your answer, let me clarify it further.

The seed of a large organization is sown at the time when you started building it. Choices you make at that time can't be reversed in time. some of those choices are like configuring DNA. These choices may sound and look trivial and you may be tempted to think that you can change it at a later date. However, You can't change these simple-looking fundamental choices at a later date.
