Organize around capabilities and decisions

Shared capabilities such as research, workflow design, deployment, and decision support create coherence.

Require a distinct company role

Each business needs a reason to exist independently.

Share foundations, not assumptions

Security, accessibility, and governance can be shared; market knowledge cannot be assumed.

Use portfolio-level review

Compare opportunity, resource needs, strategic value, and operating burden across industries.

Preserve specialized expertise

High-consequence areas require appropriate specialists and controls.

Expand only when the system can support it

A new industry adds maintenance, legal, research, and customer-support responsibilities.
