The ReWild Group Story

The foundations of The ReWild Group stretch back across 30 years of research and observation of small and mid-size businesses. The goal of the research was to understand what made companies grow, shrink, succeed, and fail. Our quest led us to interact with more than 1,500 businesses in dozens of industries.

As we studied these companies, we saw distinct, identifiable, and predictable patterns that directly impacted a company’s ability to sustain growth. These observations fueled the creation of The Seven Stages of Growth - a methodology that recognized that every company goes through seven distinct stages of growth based on the complexity of the organization.

In 2017, The ReWild Group initiated the first major update to the now time-tested Seven Stages of Growth methodology. The goal was to provide a more comprehensive framework while extending the Seven Stages of Growth methodology so it would diagnose, prescribe, and predict the key elements missing in a business’s ecosystem. Furthermore, the new methodology would provide tangible solutions to the issues identified.

In 2018, Organizational ReWilding® was officially launched. This new methodology expands on the “Classic” Seven Stages of Growth by incorporating refinements to the original methodology and providing specific solutions.

Business leaders can now work with our Network of Advisers and Instructors who use Organizational ReWilding® to identify the missing elements in your business – like the grey wolves in Yellowstone – and help infuse these elements to grow a more exceptional business.


Our Mission

The ReWild Group is on a mission to multiply the number of exceptional businesses globally.

We believe that work is a fundamental part of human existence, and that much of who we are is impacted by the work we do. When a person is part of an exceptional workplace, they can apply their natural talents, grow as an individual, and develop new skills. This person returns to home and society as the best version of themselves. 

As we multiply the number of exceptional businesses, the impact reverberates throughout our homes, our communities, and our nations. 

We invite you to join us in our mission of growing more exceptional businesses.
