Description
Your company has an operating system. It lives in how decisions get made, how work flows, what the business will and won’t do. Most founders have never written it down. It lives in their head, and the heads of the people around them.
That was always a limitation. Now it’s the thing standing between you and any meaningful leverage from the tools everyone is talking about. Because those tools can only run well inside a system they can read.
This workshop is the starting point.
Over two sessions, two hours each, you’ll see exactly how a company operating system gets built from scratch, then build a first version for yours. In Session 1, one participant volunteers their company. We run a live bootstrap: a company operating system generated from public information in real time, interrogated by the group together. By the end, you know exactly what to look for when you run it yourself.
Between sessions, you run the same process on your own company. In Session 2, you bring your correction list back to the group, revise your standing brief, and leave with something concrete: a bootstrapped Agent OS, a revised CLAUDE.md, a list of what to focus on first, and a clear view of what going further would actually require.
Not a framework to think about later. A concrete start.
Two sessions. Tuesday and Thursday, 11am UK time. Max 12 participants. $500 USD ex VAT.
Prework required before Session 1: approximately 2-3 hours.
Facilitated by Mark Littlewood.
