  • "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.”

    Wadih Canaan - Partner at Consulting HAUS

  • "A very insightful and practical framework for anyone looking to move beyond functional silos and truly understand how businesses operate end-to-end. Edward Rowe does an excellent job of simplifying complex organizational structures into a clear, universal model. Particularly valuable for professionals aspiring to leadership roles, as it bridges the gap between specialization and enterprise-wide thinking."

    Tejas Mehta, Partner, KPMG

The Model

A colorful infographic displaying a process flow with each step in a colored box. The steps are labeled 'Start', 'Stabilise', 'Grow', and 'Assure', with subtopics under each. The boxes include topics such as Product Development, Business Development, Communications, Research & Development, Risk Management, Customer Service, Operations, Legal, Partnerships, Ethics & Compliance, Procurement, Administration, Human Resources, Information Technology, Logistics, and Internal Audit. The design emphasizes a structured approach to organizational processes and management, with each section color-coded and interconnected.

Leading an organisation requires more than functional expertise. It requires a system-wide view.

The Standard Model for Business provides a clear framework for understanding how companies are built, scaled and governed.
