The most consequential OPERATE decision: pick the operating system (EOS / Scaling Up / 4DX / Hoshin policy-deployment) and cascade strategy from 3-year vision to weekly scorecards.
Without an explicit operating system, every leader runs their own. Within 18 months, the company has 5 incompatible cadences, 3 incompatible scorecards, and zero strategic alignment. Picking the OS — and cascading strategy through it — is the single most consequential OPERATE decision.
A senior-led delivery sequence — not a template dump. Each phase is operated with your team, not handed over as a deck.
Score the company against EOS, Scaling Up, 4DX and Hoshin policy-deployment on stage-fit, function-fit and founder-fit; deliver the OS-selection memo with the recommendation.
Two-day leadership offsite to lock the 3-year vision, annual rocks and quarterly priorities; build the Hoshin X-Matrix end-to-end.
Org-design v1 with span-of-control 1:6–1:8 audit; RACI authored for the top-30 decisions and ratified by the leadership team.
Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Annual operating rhythm calendar published; EOS L10 / 4DX WIG meeting templates installed with owners.
Two full operating cycles run with us in-room; strategy-execution alignment scored, gaps closed, scorecards locked as the new default.
