To put it mathematically, The Golden Ratio is a ratio where ‘The Whole is to the Larger Part as the Larger Part is to the Smaller Part’. If that sounds obscure, just know that this is something you have seen and experienced many times in many ways but probably never realized it. It’s possibly around you right now as you are reading this. In art, in nature or really anywhere in this creation, if you find something pleasing, aesthetic and in harmony, just know that the Golden Ratio is at play (read more about it here). At 1point618 Business Consulting, we realized that this mathematical peculiarity is very relevant across multiple business domains – especially where balance, growth and strategic proportioning matter.
When I launched 1point618 Business Consulting (read more about Shantanu here) it was with a clear purpose: to help organizations turn bold ideas into actionable plans – and ensure they’re executed flawlessly. We specialize in developing tailored strategies, building robust execution frameworks and then driving tactical excellence so that businesses don’t just plan for success – they achieve it. Whether you’re a startup seeking direction or an established company refining your next move, our hands-on, results-oriented approach is designed to make every strategy count.
Our work with clients hinges on few core principles:
The Golden Ratio shows us that for any creation to grow and sustain it needs to achieve harmony between foundational balance and high growth. Although those stratospheric CAGRs make for a good showing, we believe, any kind of growth only comes when the organization’s foundations are strong. Check out here how we can work with you to make sure that your business grows in harmony with balance.
In our years of experience we realized that the companies who are most successful in solving problems consistently, are the ones who, first, define the problem correctly and second, views the problem from a different vantage point. Let’s see how that works even semantically – one would typically define any challenge as “I want to do abc BUT I am facing xyz situation”. Now just flip that over and approach it as “I know I am facing xyz situation BUT I want to do abc”. Merely changing perspectives makes you focus more on the possible solutions, than the challenge itself. At 1point618, we help you articulate that challenge better and achieve that vantage point from where you can look at the problem very differently.
Chanakya, the great 4th century BCE Indian statesman and philosopher, writes in his Arthashastra (a treatise on statecraft, politics, economic policy and military strategy) that any kingdom needs 7 key elements to flourish – The King / Queen himself / herself, An able ministry, the kingdom’s subjects, a strong fort, robust finances, a clear incentive and penalty system and finally a trusted partner. 1point618 strives to be this trusted partner for you who can probably give you the piece you are missing.
In a world that’s running on steroids of ‘multiples’, a basic fact often gets lost – a business will continue to grow only till every stakeholder in it sees and realises the VALUE they can contribute and extract. Even if one of the many entities who matter to a business, witness any value destruction, the business itself becomes vulnerable to overall decline. At 1point618, we help you develop and articulate the relevant ‘value proposition’ not just to external customers, but also to every stakeholder within the organization.
