Partnership Operating System
The operating model we use to keep complex partnerships consistent: shared goals, clear ownership, structured communication, and execution velocity.
Best For
Teams running multiple growth initiatives where handoffs and priorities often break down.
Case Signals
AutismCare (15+ month full-stack build), Kollect (high-speed replatform), Active Iron (data operations).
Cadence
Weekly execution sync, monthly strategic review, quarterly re-prioritization sprint.
Operating Model
1. Define the Partnership Scorecard
Align on 3-5 north star metrics and supporting lag/lead indicators across channels.
2. Map Decision Rights
Document who approves budget, messaging, launch readiness, and scope shifts.
3. Split Work Into Weekly Delivery Pods
Run parallel pods for growth, creative, and data, each with a weekly output target.
4. Close the Feedback Loop
Use sales, service, and customer feedback to revise creative and landing priorities.
5. Recommit Quarterly
Review what worked, cut low-leverage initiatives, and reset the roadmap to business conditions.
