Operating Model

Run the business on one operating model.

Overview

How Operating Model works.

Most partner services firms run the company on a stack of disconnected documents. The vision lives in a deck nobody opens. The accountability chart lives in someone's head. Goals are set at a kickoff and never reviewed. The weekly meeting has no scorecard, so the same issues resurface every Monday. Role-fit conversations get skipped because there is no private place to have them. PartnerView ships the operating model as one connected module: Vision and Plan, Accountability Chart, Goals, Quarterly Priorities, Scorecard, Issues, Weekly Team Meeting, and confidential Role Fit reviews. The data behind the scorecard comes from the same delivery, revenue, and people records the rest of the platform runs on.

Where it breaks today

The specific problems Operating Model solves.

01

The vision lives on a shelf.

The leadership offsite produced a deck. The deck got presented once. Nobody references it when goals are set or priorities are picked, so the company drifts off the plan that was supposed to anchor it.

02

Accountability is tribal knowledge.

Who owns what is something the long-tenured people know and new hires guess at. The org chart in HR shows reporting lines but not the actual seats and the accountabilities those seats own.

03

Goals do not cascade.

Leadership writes annual goals. Teams write their own goals in isolation. Individuals never get a goal at all. The line from company outcome to weekly work is invisible.

04

The weekly meeting has no scorecard.

The team meets every Monday and talks about whatever is loudest. There is no shared weekly metric grid, no green/red read on the numbers that matter, and no issues list that survives the meeting.

05

Role-fit conversations get skipped.

Managers know who is in the wrong seat but have nowhere private to write it down. So they say nothing, the wrong fit persists, and the team carries it for another year.

Vision and plan A deck on a shared drive. A versioned record with vision, core values, and the supporting plan.
Accountability An org chart that shows reporting lines, not seats and accountabilities. An accountability chart with seats, accountabilities, holders, and an org-tree view.
Goals Annual goals at the top, nothing cascades. Goals at org, team, and individual level with parent linkage and red/yellow/green status.
Weekly meeting Whatever is loudest gets the airtime. A weekly meeting view backed by the scorecard, priorities, and a persistent issues list.
Role fit A conversation that does not happen. A confidential review with the same privacy guarantees as performance reviews.
What PartnerView does

The capabilities.

Vision and Plan, versioned.

Vision, core values, and the plan that supports them captured as a record, not a slide. Versioned so the leadership team can see how the story has changed over time.

Accountability Chart with seats and holders.

Seats by function with explicit accountabilities and a clear hierarchy. Holders are assigned to seats so the question of who owns this has one answer, visible on the org tree.

Goals that cascade org to team to individual.

Parent linkage from company goal to team goal to individual goal. Manual or computed red/yellow/green per goal, so the cascade has a real status, not a vibe.

Quarterly Priorities aligned in a tree.

Ninety-day commitments scoped to a quarter, linked to goals, and arranged in a priority tree so the org can see how individual priorities support team and company priorities.

A weekly scorecard with manual and computed metrics.

A weekly metric grid with green/red per week. Some rows are entered by the metric owner. Others compute from live data in delivery, finance, and CRM.

Issues list and Weekly Team Meeting view.

An issues list that persists between meetings, and an assembly view that pulls the scorecard, priorities, and issues into one place for the weekly team meeting.

Role Fit, handled with care.

Confidential role-fit reviews with the same privacy guarantees as performance reviews. The reviewee never sees the manager's draft or submitted review. Reports stay permission-gated.

  • Accountability Chart with seats by function
  • Each seat carries explicit accountabilities and a place in the hierarchy

  • Org-tree view of the accountability chart

Goals and priorities

Cascading goals and ninety-day priorities, linked end to end.

  • Goals at the org, team, and individual level
  • Parent linkage so a child goal points to the goal it supports
  • Red/yellow/green status per goal, manual or computed
  • Quarterly Priorities scoped to a quarter
  • Each priority linked to a parent goal
