The 3 Foundational Pillars
Before any operational strategy can be created, the L10F requires establishment of the three complementary, driving forces behind the framework.
The standard, enterprise-wide collection of business structures, process, and beliefs necessary to drive an organization forward.
The BOS encompasses all common branches of an organization (e.g. sales, operations, finance, marketing, and leadership.)
A collaborative worker-to-business model which provides dedicated skill players to meet business needs.
This team exists to understand and align with business goals, then to create solution-based resources; allowing business and client goals to be met simultaneously.
A technology-driven platform which comprehends and directs the flow of potential prospects into becoming paying customers; utilizing three interconnected principles.
Multi-medium architecture, automated data-driven infrastructure, and intra-ecosystem consistency.
