Growth changes the way things work.
You may be growing.
You may be responding to a challenge.
You may be preparing for your next opportunity.
But the operating model that got you here
may not be the operating model that gets you there, if:
Your costs scale faster than revenue.
More people, more activity, more complexity and yet you don't have more operating leverage.​
Too much depends on you or a few people.
When a senior leader exits, becomes overloaded or is unavailable, your business is hit.
Your team is absorbing friction.
Workarounds, duplicated effort, unclear ownership and constant escalation are becoming normal.
A new opportunity strains your resources.
Your operating model is making an opportunity too expensive to pursue.
Your growth story
needs an operating model
that can support it.
Every opportunity and emerging need
creates an operating requirement
with an associated cash requirement.
A stronger operating model can help you make better decisions. It determines the success of your funding, growth and business response efforts.
Investors need confidence that your business can scale profitably.
Debt providers need confidence that your business is stable, with a strong operational model, a tenacious team, adequate collateral and repayment capability.
Your top talent needs to know that they're not your operating model, and emergency plan.
​
Whether you're seeking funding, or responding to an emerging need, can your operating model withstand the pressure to sail through?
