Thomsons work is the first analytical dissection of what it takes to be part of the distinctive group of Blueprint companies (companies that have IPO’d since 1980 and grown to $1B in revenue). Growth is not a new topic.  Millions of hours and dollars have been invested by companies to find its drivers and patterns. Thomson’s approach is different:  find fact-based behaviors and actions with superior financial performance and apply them to those on the front line. These principles outline what these Blueprint companies have done to create above average performance.  Missing even one of these principles resulted in companies falling off trajectory.

This book offers readers a map to the success pattern of the highest growth companies around. Out of the companies Thomson surveyed, the “Blueprint” companies he highlights account for a highly disproportionate impact; 12% of the companies are responsible for over half of the employment and value created. These are remarkable results, which are even more remarkable when you consider the strong effect of these companies on our lives. Blueprint to a Billion is Dave Thomsons fact-based, actionable answer to finding the growth pattern of these Blueprint companies and using it to work to the reader’s advantage.
