Organizational Operating Systems
Most problems aren’t people problems. They’re system problems.
And most founders don't need more new ideas. They need a system they believe in.
When things feel messy inside your organization: misalignment, confusion, dropped balls, stalled progress, it’s easy to blame people. But in most cases, the real issue isn’t your team. It’s the lack of a system guiding how your organization runs.
An Organizational Operating System (Org OS) is the intentional structure behind how decisions are made, goals are set, progress is tracked, and teams stay aligned. It’s the backbone of how your business operates.
Without one, teams rely on gut instinct, reactive decision-making, and scattered meetings. With one, they gain clarity, rhythm, and direction.
This is about building a simple, usable system that helps your team move with purpose, make better decisions, and stay focused on what matters most.
If your organization is growing, changing, or just feeling stuck in the chaos of the day-to-day, it’s time to build the system that supports the team you’re becoming.
The Framework
The 6 Levers Framework
A complete view of what makes your organization work.
When you’re building an Organizational Operating System, you need a comprehensive, honest look at how your organization actually runs—and where it needs to evolve.
That’s where the 6 Levers Framework comes in.
This model helps us explore six core areas that drive organizational health and performance:
-
Identity – Beliefs and purpose that shape your culture
-
Focus – Clear priorities, goals, and strategies
-
Cohesion – Structures that support strong, connected teams
-
Leadership – Development of confident, capable leaders
-
Rhythm – The routines and habits that drive consistency
-
Momentum – Turning plans into progress through action and continuous improvement
These levers are deeply interconnected. When one is weak, it affects the others. But when they’re strong and aligned, your organization moves forward with clarity, confidence, and consistency.
As a licensed 6 Levers Coach and my testimonial featured in At the Heart of Work—the definitive book on this framework—I bring deep experience and practical tools to help your team use the 6 Levers to design a system that fits your organization, fuels your mission, and supports sustainable growth.
