The four jobs every CEO must get right

Building your company’s valuation starts with the right framework for mastering the four decisions every CEO must make – people, strategy, execution and cash. `

When software development firm Eficode acquired Gerry Tombs’ company Clearvision, he received 98 percent of the purchase price up front. `

It wasn’t an accident that Eficode, a Helsinki-based powerhouse in DevOps and the Agile movement, was eager to make the purchase. Tombs had scaled Clearvision, based in Southampton, England, from a startup he launched in his garage in 2005 to a tech consultancy with 100 employees in the United Kingdom and United States, US$104 million in annual revenue and clients such as Atlassian and GitLab. `

Applying the Scaling Up platform, he focused on a people-centric big hairy audacious goal: climbing to the top of the Best Companies award in the United Kingdom. He aligned department leaders on the company’s strategy in weekly meetings, assigning each leader accountability for a key metric. Through consistent execution, the company built strong partner relationships, garnering awards such as Atlassian Partner of the Year for Dev Tools.

"Before pursuing the Chief AI Officer certification, I was navigating a familiar leadership challenge: the need to do more with limited time while AI continued to accelerate. I didn’t want tools or theory — I needed a clear strategy that translated into real business outcomes. The Chief AI Officer program delivered exactly that. It taught me how to think strategically about AI, with a strong focus on governance, transformation, and practical implementation. As a result, AI is now embedded into my workflows in a way that is measurable, sustainable, and impactful, allowing me to create clearer processes, better decisions, and higher-value work."
