Created an infographic of The Cadence philosophy/framework for SaaS.

The Cadence is an operating philosophy/framework created by ex Paypal/Yammer founder David Sacks which aims to generate a compounding effect for growth.

David initially created it by identifying the pains within an organisation scaling from 50 to 500 employees, although as a founder myself I can see The Cadence being useful much sooner for an early stage SaaS startup.

So what is the Cadence? It’s based on a few key insights:
• First, the four major functions in a SaaS startup — Sales, Finance, Product, and Marketing — are all best run on a quarterly cycle.
• However, it’s not the same cycle. Sales and Finance are on one calendar; Product and Marketing are on another calendar.
• If you snap these two calendars together, it will create a single operating cadence for the company.
• The key milestones and events in these systems create opportunities for company-wide communication and collaboration — a kind of superstructure for the organization.

I couldn't find any one pager explanation and really wanted to have it visible in my home office as inspiration. So I created this infographic which I plan to make available in several colorways as printed posters.
