Notional concept for discussion purposes – Honeybee Proprietary – Do not distribute Issues with growth • Sustaining growth – Contracts are not infinite – they end. – Need to sustain current workforce and continue growth – Small projects are no longer fine • Facilities – No suitable facilities within short driving distance – Trying to expand within existing Business Park • Hiring (and to some extend retaining) top notch talent – Significant competition from NewSpace, Google, Amazon etc., – Salaries are higher – Competition even for interns! • Org Structure – Everyone reports to me – becoming bottle neck – New positions never considered before: PM, QA, CM, Facility, PO 40
