Business Operations & Performance Systems
Replaces institutional memory with an operating system people can run.
The problem this solves
The process lives in one person's head and a folder of half-updated documents. Three teams keep three versions of the same spreadsheet, so nobody fully trusts any of them, and every system purchase starts without a written requirement.
Turn what runs on tribal knowledge into something anyone can pick up: documented process, KPIs people actually trust, and requirements clear enough to hand to a vendor.
What's included
Document the real process, then instrument it
We write down how the work actually runs before proposing a single change to it.
- 01
Entry: Operations Assessment
Process inventory across the core operating flows, a map of where knowledge is single-threaded, and a ranked list of what to document and measure first.
- 02
Core: Performance System Build
Documented process with named owners, a KPI set with agreed definitions and a single source, operating cadence design, and vendor-ready requirements where tooling is genuinely needed.
- 03
Ongoing: Operating Cadence
Monthly performance reviews, process updates as the business changes, and support selecting and implementing systems against the written requirements.
Proof of work
What changes once the operating system is written down
The practical effects of documentation, measures, and requirements done in that order.
Process
Onboarding stops depending on who is available to explain it.
Core processes are documented at the level someone can execute from, with owners, inputs, and the exceptions that used to be handled by asking around.
Measurement
One set of numbers, defined once, agreed on by the people they describe.
KPI definitions are written with the teams, sourced from a single system, and reviewed on a fixed cadence instead of assembled the week before a board meeting.
