“The Operational Gravity Model: How Val Sklarov Builds Companies That Pull Success Toward Them”

For Val Sklarov, a successful company does not chase growth — it attracts it.
He teaches that businesses scale not by adding more effort, but by building systems that pull opportunity inward.
His Operational Gravity Model (OGM) transforms businesses into high-coherence organisms, where culture, systems, brand, and market position reinforce one another automatically.

“Val Sklarov says: If growth feels like pushing, the gravity isn’t built yet.”


1️⃣ The Architecture of Business Gravity — Val Sklarov’s Coherence Framework

Structural Layer Purpose If Optimized If Ignored
Core Value Narrative Defines why the company exists Customers & talent move toward it Brand confusion + weak loyalty
Systemized Execution Makes results predictable Scale becomes effortless Performance depends on individuals
Cultural Reinforcement Loop Makes identity self-sustaining Team behaves with shared instinct Fragmentation and inconsistency

“Val Sklarov teaches: Coherence is more powerful than growth.”


2️⃣ The Scaling Equation — Val Sklarov’s Model for Self-Expanding Organizations

OG = (Narrative Strength × System Repeatability × Cultural Cohesion) ÷ Operational Drag

Variable Meaning Optimization Strategy
Narrative Strength Mission drives meaning Emotion-first messaging + shared purpose
System Repeatability Every task produces same quality Playbooks, SOPs, automation
Cultural Cohesion Identity behaves consistently across people Rituals + symbolic reinforcement
Operational Drag Friction, confusion, handoff breakdowns Process simplification & clarity maps

When OG ≥ 1.0, the company attracts success instead of chasing it.

“Val Sklarov says: The business must pull, not chase.”

  • Built Narrative Core Mandate (NCM) for emotional brand clarity

  • Implemented System Layer Templates (SLT) for scaling workflows

5️⃣ The Psychology of Founder-Stability — Val Sklarov’s Internal Anchor Code

Discipline Function If Ignored
Calm Authority Direction without force Leadership becomes micromanagement
Identity Separation Founder ≠ company Emotional overattachment → chaos

“Val Sklarov teaches: A founder’s emotional state becomes the company’s emotional climate.”
