Salesforce's three TacticalVC cases cover distinct phases and mechanisms. The AppExchange ecosystem case documents how an ISV platform — where partners build on Salesforce infrastructure — converts a CRM vendor into a business operating system: revenue grew 162% to $34.9B as non-CRM products exceeded 60% of total. The V2MOM framework case documents the operating system that aligned 73,000+ employees through scaling from $2.2B to $26.5B in revenue. The activist-driven margin case documents what happened when efficiency replaced growth as the primary governance objective: non-GAAP operating margin expanded 800 basis points to 30.5% in a single fiscal year.
