  • "The Standard Model for Business offers a shared language and a structured way of thinking about how businesses really work. For anyone serious about building, leading or governing effective businesses, that perspective is indispensable."

    Tim Breen, CEO, GLOBALFOUNDRIES

  • "As someone who works in a specialist function, looking to grow a business, I found this wonderfully insightful. It gave me comfort about the parts of business I know well and clearly identified, and plugged the gaps. A great read for anyone who wants to understand how it all fits together. Thank you."

    —Adam Wesbroom, Capital Group

  • “The Standard Model for Business is one of the most insightful books I have read on what truly drives organizational success. Having spent 24 years in the investment industry in London and the last 7 years advising organizations across the Middle East on governance, risk, compliance, corporatization, value creation, and IPO readiness, I found the book highly aligned with both my experience and my professional evolution.”
