If the Whitewater stage is managed correctly, the organization can break through the Whitewater to reach the haven we described earlier: Predictable Success® .

In Predictable Success®, the organization has a balanced approach to all of the areas focused on in earlier stages of development: Cash, sales and profits are all equally important.

Also in Predictable Success®, the organization regains its sense of identity, employees are re-focused and re-energized, the organization as a whole comes back into alignment, and management works as a cohesive team, but with effective decentralization.

At this point, the organization is in its prime.
