Every organization is perfectly designed to produce its current results.
Most organizations evolve. Few are intentionally architected.
What Compass believes
Organizations don’t become great by working harder. They become great by intentionally architecting the systems that produce performance.
Why it matters now
Every system has a lifecycle. The second curve begins before the first one ends.
The architecture that produced success in one stage of growth rarely sustains it in the next. The work is to design the next curve while the current one is still creating value.
