You Don’t Have an Operating Model. You Have Departments.

Most SaaS companies don’t choose their operating model. They inherit the default company “operating model”. It looks like this:

  • Teams organized by function

  • KPIs tracked in isolation

  • Roadmaps built in silos

  • Accountability blurred across handoffs

It’s the default way of organizing. And it works until it doesn’t.

Because no one’s responsible for the whole. No one’s optimizing for the customer. And no one’s making sure the value you promise is the value they experience. The result?

  • Misalignment everywhere

  • Confusion in the market

  • Slower sales, weaker retention, lower NPS

You don’t rise above that by hiring more. You rise by operating differently.

The best companies choose clarity:

  • Clear point of view

  • Clear value delivered

  • Clear experience designed around it

  • And a model built to deliver that value consistently

You don’t need more departments.cYou need an operating model that actually works.
