Rebuilding Your Business Operating System
Scaling past $20M+ requires a system overhaul. If your business is still running on outdated processes, you’re stalling growth. Here’s how to fix it.
Your Business System Is Holding You Back
Most $20M+ companies are running on legacy systems, not growth engines. What worked at $5M, or even $10M, is now slowing you down. If you’re still making decisions the same way, running the same playbooks, and using the same processes, your growth ceiling is already set.
At this level, your business needs an operating system reboot—not just new strategies, but a fundamental shift in how decisions are made, how teams execute, and how systems scale.
The Cost of an Outdated System
Every inefficiency compounds. Here’s how outdated systems silently destroy scale:
→ Lagging Decision-Making: Slow decisions create slow execution. Every delay costs market position.
→ Unscalable Processes: The workflows that worked at $10M collapse under $50M+ weight.
→ Lack of UX-Driven Execution: If operations, sales, and customer experience aren’t frictionless, you’re losing millions.
→ Siloed Data & Teams: When departments don’t integrate, the business moves in pieces—not as a unit.
→ Bloated Management Structures: More hierarchy = more approval layers = more drag.
How to Rebuild for Scale
1. Make Faster Decisions
Your company needs to think faster, not just grow bigger. Implement data-driven decision-making, remove excessive approvals, and shift to a real-time execution model.
2. Prioritize a Seamless Experience
Scaling isn’t just about more customers—it’s about reducing friction at every level. If your internal systems, sales cycles, or customer experience are clunky, you’re hemorrhaging revenue. Optimize for seamless execution across all touchpoints.
3. Automate Without Overcomplicating
Tech should accelerate execution, not complicate it. Audit every system: Does it speed up workflows or add friction? Cut what doesn’t move the needle.
4. Cut Management Bottlenecks
Your org chart should reflect execution efficiency, not corporate bloat. Reduce middle management layers and empower decision-makers closer to execution.
5. Constantly Improve Systems
The companies that scale past $100M rebuild constantly. Every system should be under constant evaluation, optimization, and iteration. No “set it and forget it.”
The Cost of Staying Stagnant
A business stuck in old processes is a business that won’t scale. If you’re hitting execution friction, it’s not an accident—it’s a sign your systems are outdated.
Fast-moving companies break and rebuild their operating systems before stagnation forces their hand. The cost of delay? Tens of millions in lost growth.
