How it works

Pivotal’s approach focuses on three key levers:

Scaling for Success

Scale – whether 2x, 10x, or 100x – is achieved over a continuum of specialization, automation, and integration. You want the scale that’s appropriate for your company’s stage of growth and no more. Some inefficiencies may be completely appropriate for your current stage and even represent the optimal cost:benefit ratio.

Data-Driven Insights

The data generated by your company can point the way to success, if you know where to look. What’s the one metric that matters for you right now? How does your company’s data inform your decision making? Pivotal can take you from inquiry to insight to impact.

Building
High Performance Culture

Who you are as CEO is imbued in the culture. Mission, vision, and values turn out to be the only thing that matters. Aligning each person’s skill and passion to the job they’re doing is the first step to high performance. Building high-performance teams represents a triple win: for the employees, the company and the customers

All three levers together create Value that Scales:
