Do we share one view of the economic truth — and one set of priorities?
One shared fact base and the cross-functional trade-offs only the team can make.
The six stages, as you lead them
Stage 1: See the economic truth
Where is value actually created, and where is it consumed?
You work from one shared fact base.
Output: Profit by customer, product and channel after the cost to serve them, sorted into quartiles and a value-versus-complexity quad.
Stage 2: Price and cost to serve honestly
Does each segment pay for what it consumes?
You agree the principles for pricing and cost to serve.
Output: The gap between price and cost to serve by segment, with pricing and terms options.
Stage 3: Concentrate on the vital few
Where will we focus, and what will we stop or change?
You commit to one focus set, with named owners.
Output: An approved focus set, and a decision for the rest: standardize, reprice, consolidate, shift channel or responsibly exit.
Stage 4: Release capacity
What capacity does that focus free?
You release capacity across functions, not just within them.
Output: Freed hours and spend by function, with a plan for where they go.
Stage 5: Reinvest into growth
Where does the freed capacity go?
You agree one reinvestment portfolio.
Output: A reinvestment plan aimed at growth in the vital few.
Stage 6: Compound it
How do we make this repeat?
You run it in your team operating cadence, with ARC™ at every review.
Output: Owners, a review cadence and an ARC™ rhythm, so each cycle starts from a stronger base.
