The Model

Six connected lenses.
One organizational reality.

Every challenge has a primary home—but never only one cause.

The model gives leaders a shared language for locating issues, tracing their effects, and designing responses that hold together across the business.

01

Strategy

Choose where the organization is going—and why it matters.

Business model, strategic direction, market position, priorities, profitability, and the measures that define meaningful progress.

02

People

Build the culture and capability to move there together.

Values, leadership, talent, learning, engagement, conflict management, and the everyday experience of work.

03

Structure

Give work a clear home, owner, and path across the business.

Organization design, roles, decision rights, handoffs, interdepartmental processes, and operating boundaries.

04

Execution

Turn intent into reliable, excellent delivery.

Plans, workflows, resources, performance rhythms, service quality, problem solving, and disciplined follow-through.

05

Information

Make the right knowledge available for better decisions.

Data, systems, documentation, communication, reporting, knowledge flow, and the signals leaders need to act.

06

Governance

Create accountability, assurance, and continuous improvement.

Policies, compliance, risk, audits, accountability, review cycles, and the discipline to learn and improve.

The DIDI Process

Four steps from problem to improvement.

Define. Identify. Diagnose. Improve.

01D

Define Problem

Describe the observable, undesirable business condition without assuming its cause.

02I

Identify Capability

Select the repeatable organizational ability that must produce the required outcome.

03D

Diagnose with Six Pillars

Examine the capability through Strategy, People, Structure, Execution, Information, and Governance.

04I

Improve Capability

Prioritize, implement, measure, and sustain coordinated improvements to the capability.

Why It Works

A framework for the spaces between departments.

Most operating models divide the business into functions. Six Pillars Model looks at the relationships between them.

  1. 01 Find the pillar that owns the issue.
  2. 02 Map the pillars affected by it.
  3. 03 Design one coordinated response.
