Foundations

What If the Way We Build Companies 
Is Missing Something?

You’ve mastered strategy. You’re evolving operations. You care about culture.

But something still feels… off.

Foundations explores the structural and philosophical underpinnings of how we shape companies and the place they occupy in our societies — and what we might be missing.

The Missing Link

Foundations isn’t strategy.

It’s not governance, culture, or operations either.

It’s the missing domain — the set of unspoken assumptions, mental models, and constraints that shape the soul of your business and its social impact as a corporate citizen.

It’s where things like finitude, focus, time, trust, and belief live — not as slogans, but as real organizational forces.

A New Book. A New Practice. Maybe Even a Movement.

Foundations is currently a book-in-progress, shaped by years of real-world advisory work and deep reading.

Each month, I share behind-the-scenes thinking, models, and questions.

This isn’t content marketing. It’s a live exploration.

And when readers feel moved to reply, question, or share — their insights may help shape the direction of the book itself.

Where Foundations Sits in the Big Picture

Foundations is one of the five practice areas in the Strativa model — alongside C.O.R.e.™, Governance, Operations, and Culture.

But unlike the others, this one is still growing roots.

Come grow it with us.
