What is a Business Operating System?
Simply stated, a Business Operating System (BOS) is a way to operate your business. It's an integrated set of processes and methods to effectively build, run and scale a business.
It results in efficiency and profitability by:
Formalizing a clear and concise vision and operating structure.
Harnessing the competencies that help generate accountability.
Setting, tracking & ensuring realistic measurables.
Streamlining operations, performance & core processes.
Establishing roles, accountabilities & responsibilities.
Maximizing effectiveness of meetings, communication & collaboration.
Creating a strong company culture where people feel appreciated.
Companies with a formal BOS experience up to 22% higher profitability and 30% more productivity.
On exit, a documented BOS reduces Key Person Risk, which can add 1–2 turns to a company’s EBITDA multiple.

Implementing Your Tailored BOS
Implementing Your Tailored BOS
Implementation is a straightforward process that occurs in two phases: Build and Scale
Build (9-14 weeks): Three all-day meetings to lay the foundation, vision and goal-setting process with a core focus on the concepts, tools and disciplines of the system as we tailor and implement your BOS.
Scale (11-13 Months): Two quarterly all-day sessions and one 2-day annual session with core focus on leadership, management, teamwork, and healthy accountability.
Both phases include regular coaching sessions and hands-on assistance with the Weekly Rhythm.
