The 4 Quadrants of Organizational Structure

If you’ve read Gary Harper’s book RISE, you got a great look at the RISE Business Framework. Now it’s time to implement it into your business. Here’s how RISE works.

Resources

Time • Money • People

An idea becomes a business when time, money, and resources are dedicated to bringing it to life. The research quadrant is complete when a business is self-sustaining, can pay its own expenses and makes a profit each month.

“The P&L statement is the financial MRI of your business. It scans for strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities, helping you diagnose and treat financial health.”Gary Harper

Inspiration

Values • Purpose • Goals

If we make it through the research quadrant, we then measure profits, implement a business framework, and clearly define our purpose as a business beyond just making money.

“Core values are the soul of your organization. They dictate your company culture, hiring choices, and leadership style.”Gary Harper

Systems

Process • Procedures • Policies

Our innovative business is now ready to turn into a streamlined machine. We focus on documenting processes, creating procedures and instituting policies. We focus on the right systems and the right process.

“KPIs act as a company's pulse, signaling the health and areas of concern.”Gary Harper

Engagement

Brand • Succession • Automation

Some businesses should stay in the streamline quadrant, others can expand. To expand we must be willing to leverage the profits we made in the previous quadrants and invest it in brand, talent succession planning, and automations.

“A strong brand isn't just recognized; it's trusted.”Gary Harper

Finance, built in

Most operating systems stop at the scorecard. RISE runs the numbers.

Money is one of the three Resources, so finance is part of the framework from day one, not something you hand off and hope for.

“A pro forma is your financial crystal ball, offering a glimpse into tomorrow’s success. The budget, its trusty companion, turns those visions into reality.”Gary Harper, RISE Business Framework
  • Pro forma and budget

    Plan revenue and expenses for the year, then track actuals against them month by month.

  • P&L review

    Read your profit and loss like a diagnosis: strengths, weaknesses, and what to treat first.

  • Variance reports

    Catch the gap between budget and reality early, while it is still easy to fix.

  • Quarterly reflections

    Financial KPIs reviewed every quarter so the business stays on course.

RISE vs. other operating systems

Most operating systems give you meetings and scorecards. RISE covers the whole business, from finance and people to purpose, brand, and sales.

  • Meets you at your stage

    RISE: Four quadrants, worked in order, so you fix what matters now.

    Others: One toolkit applied the same way to every business.

  • Finance and profitability

    RISE: Built into Resources: budgets, profit targets, and the RISE ProForma for budget vs. actual.

    Others: Often a number on a scorecard. The real work is left to your accountant.

  • Starts with purpose

    RISE: Inspiration quadrant: values, purpose, and goals.

    Others: Vision exercises, usually aimed at targets.

  • Hiring and talent science

    RISE: Behavioral assessments, 9-Box, and succession built in.

    Others: Right person, right seat. Hiring science is usually extra.

  • Marketing, brand, and sales

    RISE: A full quadrant: brand, succession, and automation.

    Others: Mostly left to outside agencies.

  • Meetings, KPIs, accountability

    RISE: Meeting rhythms and Stoplight Reports.

    Others: Weekly meetings and scorecards.

  • Free place to start

    RISE: Free assessment and free RISE Infinity training.

    Others: A book, then paid implementation.

  • 24/7 AI coaching

  • Built by operators

    RISE: Created by owners who have built and run real businesses.

    Others: Varies by implementer.

  • Coached implementation

    RISE: RISE Certified Coaches.

    Others: Certified implementers.

Based on how popular business operating systems describe themselves publicly. Offerings vary by provider and implementer.

RISE helps these business owners reach their 100%.

Without a framework, you're just guessing at what will work.

The RISE Business Framework provides you with a proven framework to help you run an effective business. A framework that takes out the guesswork.
