Operating Model
Our experience is that most executive teams are aligned on strategic vision and direction, yet misaligned on specific business priorities, ownership, and changes are required. We help top teams identify and align on the critical few priorities and changes required in the team’s operating model, including management cadence, decision rights, and team member accountabilities. This is especially critical when scaling teams for growth.
