The Problem
You built a great product or service and hired a solid team, but every day you’re pulled into operational crises—budget overruns, missed deadlines, misaligned priorities. With 15‑250 people, those fires quickly drain your energy and keep you from the big‑picture work that drives growth or impact.
The Solution
As your Strategist, Advisor, and Fractional Chief Operating Officer, I partner with you to:
Align the leadership team around crystal‑clear, measurable objectives.
Install decision frameworks and leading business indicators that surface problems before they become emergencies.
Create people‑evaluation processes that keep talent motivated, accountable, and growing.
Build a strong, unified culture so every employee pulls in the same direction.
What Working Together Looks Like
Over a 13‑month, step‑by‑step Management Operating System (MOS) implementation, we embed:
Annual Planning: Company and/or Team-wide Mission, Vision, Values alignment and 1-year, 3-year and 1-year targets
Quarterly Rocks: 90-day work sprint goal‑setting, leading indicator KPI review, objective team evaluation
Monthly Check‑Ins: Process health, culture pulse
Weekly MOS Meeting: Data reviews, team recognition, blockers, drive to decisions
Continuous Improvement: Scorecards, SOP libraries, company-wide skills and leadership workshops, 1:1 Leadership Team executive coaching
You retain ownership of the business; I provide the operating discipline that lets you step back.
What You Gain
Strategic Alignment: Leadership Team and employees understand and are working toward the 10-year North Star, 3-year Waypoint, 1-year Roadmap, resulting in fewer "shiny object syndrome" distractions.
Execution Discipline: Quarterly Rocks, weekly MOS meetings, and leading-indicator KPI scorecards enable the Leadership Team to focus on their strategic work instead of fire-fighting.
People First Leadership: Values alignment, neuroscience-based executive coaching and EQ development workshops build a strong company culture, enabling the whole team to thrive and do their best work.
Self-Sustaining System: Leading business indicator dashboards & Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) library enable the Leadership Team to trust the process and ensure autonomous Management Operating System operation after month 13.
The Outcome
1. You gain confidence that your leadership team is making the right day‑to‑day decisions, freeing you to focus on strategic initiatives, new markets, and long‑term vision.
2. Your Leadership Team is focused what’s most important for the business, and the Management Operating System is fully self-sustaining.
3. Your business is on track for sustainable, long-term performance that’s aligned with your Vision and Values.
