Over the last 30 years, the Polish market has seen the emergence of many powerful private and family-owned businesses that now successfully rival Western players. The Polish economy, ranked among the top twenty globally, provides an excellent environment for growth. This has been clearly visible since the turn of 2019 and 2020, reflected in rising revenues and significant profits for Shareholders. Polish companies are exerting an ever-growing influence on markets, society, and culture, boldly competing for European and often global customers.
Interest in the Private PL sector (Polish private capital) is steadily increasing, as seen in business rankings, dedicated congresses, and the attention of investors from Poland and the entire European Union. Crucially, working for Polish family businesses has become highly attractive for established Executive-level Managers. However, it is important to remember that this sector creates a specific environment – unique markets, brands, and organizational cultures. TARKA EXECUTIVE has been analyzing this specific nature of Private PL – the uniqueness of businesses and management teams – for years, serving as a trusted advisor to Owners and Partners.
Today, Polish Founders and Partners need real support in achieving transnational growth. Their greatest challenge is often the struggle to transition rapidly from the SME scale to a large, often global business. From the research and consulting experience that TARKA EXECUTIVE has gathered since 2011, it is clear that at this stage, one cannot simply mechanically transfer principles and solutions from the world of international corporations to private companies. One cannot blindly replicate standards from the world of CORPO.
For this growth to be possible, Owners must step away from day-to-day operational management. Their paramount task becomes creating strategic directions and a long-term vision, then precisely communicating and delegating them to trusted Management Teams. It is the qualified Management Staff who must relieve the Owners by taking on the independent definition of tactics and the daily management of the company.
