Growth Execution & Operating Rhythm

Purpose: Convert strategy into consistent weekly execution.

Growth rarely fails because the strategy is wrong. It fails because the organisation’s operating system can’t carry the pace.

As businesses scale, priorities multiply, teams become more specialised, and handoffs increase. Without a clear cadence and decision structure, delivery starts to drift: leadership meetings become updates instead of decisions, accountability blurs, work gets stuck between functions, and performance depends on heroic effort rather than repeatable rhythm.

Growth Execution & Operating Rhythm is Solomon Cartwright’s work to stabilise that system.

We help leadership teams translate strategy into consistent weekly execution, by building the minimum operating discipline required to keep momentum: clear ownership, clean decision-making, practical standards, and performance visibility leaders can trust. This is not bureaucracy. It’s the structure that makes delivery calmer, faster, and more reliable.

When this service is a fit

This work is designed for organisations experiencing any of the following:



• priorities shift weekly, but little truly lands
• leadership decisions are late, diluted, or avoided
• teams are busy, but throughput and quality are inconsistent
• there’s no trusted view of bottlenecks, rework, or delivery risk
• accountability feels political rather than normal
• operational discipline has slipped during growth, restructuring, or rapid hiring

What we build



We focus on the practical elements that change day-to-day execution:

1) A leadership operating rhythm that holds

A weekly/monthly cadence that turns priorities into action: planning, review, decision forums, escalation paths, and ownership tracking so drift is caught early and decisions happen on time.

3) Workflow simplification and friction removal

We diagnose where work slows (handoffs, unclear inputs, rework loops, approval layers) and redesign the flow so delivery moves with less effort and fewer surprises.

5) Performance visibility leaders can rely on

Simple reporting that shows throughput, bottlenecks, time-to-decision, capacity constraints, and the few metrics that genuinely drive performance so leaders can make better calls earlier.

2) Clear ownership and decision rights

We clarify who owns what, what “good” looks like, and where decisions sit so teams stop waiting, duplicating work, or escalating everything to the top.

4) Practical standards and expectations

Minimum viable standards for managers and teams — the behaviours and operating rules that create consistency without heavy governance.

How we work

Diagnose: map where execution breaks and why (not just symptoms)

Design: define cadence, ownership, decision forums, and visibility

Embed: implement with leaders and teams, create habits that stick

Transfer: enable managers and owners to run the system without us

Measure: track throughput and reliability, then refine
