There is a way new inquiries get handled, a way travel gets approved and booked, a way vendors are contacted, and a way information gets prepared before an important meeting. In a growing business, many of these routines develop naturally. Someone figures out what works, remembers the steps, and continues doing it that way.

Growth is usually something a business works toward, but it also changes what happens behind the scenes. A calendar that once required very little attention becomes harder to manage.
