The RISE Framework
Four quadrants. Every business moves through them in order.
Quadrant 1 of 4Resources
Time • Money • People
The right people, roles, and finances to run and grow.
Led by Austin McCurdy
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
