A company isn't run by people — it's run by systems
Seven systems make up corporate operations. A system is complete when its four layers exist — and incomplete until they do.
Most of what gets called a “system” is really a repeated habit carried by one person. It leaves when they leave.
The equation below is the difference between a habit and a system: a habit lives in someone's head; a system is written, owned, measured, and has somewhere to live.
The equation
System = process + owner + metric + tool
Remove any of the four and it stops being a system. Without an owner it's a suggestion; without a metric it's an impression; without a tool it's an intention.
The four layers
Process
Written steps a new person can execute without asking anyone.
Owner
One named person — not a committee, not “the team”.
Metric
A single number that tells you whether the system works.
Tool
Where the system actually lives.
The seven systems
In order — from decision to knowledge.
- 01
Leadership & Decision
Who decides, by what criterion, and how fast.
- 02
Market & Customer
Who we serve, and who we explicitly exclude.
- 03
Marketing & Demand
How demand is generated and attributed to its source.
- 04
Financial
Where money comes in and where it leaks.
- 05
Sales & Conversion
A process described in stages with a known conversion rate.
- 06
Operations & Delivery
How the promise is delivered without depending on one person.
- 07
People & Knowledge
How knowledge transfers so it doesn't leave when someone does.
