If tech’s untrammeled period of growth is in fact coming to an end, it’s time to start rethinking your management approach.

Spend any time around tech companies in the last decade and it’s hard not to feel confident about the sector. Tech has gone through unparalleled boom times in recent years, from big tech all the way down to the thriving startup landscape.

First coined back in 2008, hypergrowth is a term that attempted to capture the unique ability of certain technology companies to continuously grow their revenues faster than traditional companies could ever dream of. It’s an idea that drove the entire sector forwards, with a grow-at-all-costs mindset, minting big winners – and plenty of losers – along the way.
