Alphabet uses a Diversification operating model, meaning it’s split up into different companies like Google, Waymo, and Verily, which work on their own but share resources like cloud and AI.
Why it works: Each company can focus on its own goals without being slowed down by rules, which helps them be more creative and take fewer risks.
The challenge: It’s tricky to make sure all the companies stay on the same page with Alphabet’s big picture, but this setup lets them be flexible and grow in different areas.
