Vancouver, B.C. – August 21, 2024 – Vancouver, B.C. – Playbook, a leading growth advisory firm, is proud to announce the expansion of its service portfolio and the addition of industry tech veteran Kathleen Reid as an independent Internal Advisor. This expansion enhances Playbook's capabilities with comprehensive strategy consulting, business development and executive leadership support, and people and culture training. These customized solutions are designed to overcome the most pressing challenges companies face in achieving their growth objectives.

Reflecting Playbook's commitment to driving measurable business outcomes, the newly expanded services have been strategically developed to effectively and efficiently scale any business. The enhanced offerings provide clients with a holistic approach to growth, combining strategic insight, leadership expertise and cultural alignment to overcome obstacles ranging from managing operational growth and acquiring and retaining customers to market and risk analysis and sustaining company values. 

“Again and again I have heard from CEOs, business partners, investors and founders that there’s ‘no playbook’ for growth, and that they are forced to learn by making mistakes and taking risks,” said Don Stickney, who founded Playbook in 2023 after nearly two decades of serving as a trusted advisor to Fortune 500/1000 CEOs, founders, senior labour leaders, community and political organizers, and government officials across Canada and beyond. “That’s why our expanded service offerings are so pivotal to our mission of delivering a complete playbook of growth strategies to our clients.” 

At the same time, Kathleen Reid’s extensive experience and expertise in guiding and accelerating business growth, especially among startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), will be instrumental in Playbook’s delivery of top-tier growth advisory services. “As someone with an entrepreneurial mindset and deep connections within the North American innovation ecosystem, I’m excited to support Playbook’s exceptional team and contribute to the launch of these exciting new services,” said Reid. “I look forward to leveraging my passion for strategy consulting, business development, executive leadership support, and people and culture training to help Canada’s best and brightest develop and deploy proven strategies that transform the entrepreneurial journey from one of missteps and uncertainty to one of teeming confidence and unbridled success.”
