The SCREAM Operating System

Your business performance will eventually make you scream one way or another. Either from the joy of success or from the frustration of underperformance.

The difference usually isn’t the strategy. It’s the operating system behind the business. That’s what the SCREAM framework evaluates.

01 S Systems The infrastructure that enables consistent performance across every location.
Technology SOPs Playbooks Reporting Training
02 C Culture The standards and behaviors that shape how the team operates every day.
Accountability Standards Energy Values
03 R Relationships The trust and alignment between leaders, teams, partners, and members.
Trust Alignment Partners Members
04 E Execution The discipline to consistently deliver on strategy and operational standards.
Consistency Discipline Follow-through
05 A Action The speed at which the organization makes decisions and solves problems.
Velocity Decisions Urgency Response
06 M Management The leadership systems that drive performance, coaching, and accountability.
Goal Setting Coaching Tracking

When these six areas are strong, performance compounds. When they break down, performance stalls.

To help leaders quickly evaluate their organization, we built the SCREAM Performance Audit. This short assessment evaluates your organization across the six drivers of performance.

It takes about 3 minutes to complete. You’ll receive:

  • Your SCREAM performance score

  • A breakdown of strengths and weaknesses

  • Insights into the biggest constraints limiting performance

Many leaders discover they don’t have a strategy problem.

They have a SCREAM problem.

Three Questions every leader should ask

Before taking the audit, consider these three questions.

  1. How often do you review performance with your team? High-performing organizations review metrics weekly.

  2. Would your leadership team name the same top three specific goals this month or quarter? Alignment drives execution.

  3. Do you feel good about your team and their performance? Great leaders build organizations where both are true.

If these questions are uncomfortable, the audit will help clarify why.
