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.
