The model follows a structured 5-phase process that moves teams from diagnostic insight to daily discipline.
Each phase builds on the one before it, creating a clear path from vision to execution. Once you complete the diagnostic, we’ll determine where to begin. The model can be deployed sequentially or in discrete components - it just depends on your needs and priorities.
Depending on your highest operational needs and challenges, some or all of the Ops in a Box frameworks can be implemented to achieve sustainable operational health and alignment.
Phase 1 — Foundational Identity
Goal: Define who you are and why you exist.
Clarify your Purpose, Mission, Values, and Actions — the foundations that define who you are and how you show up for each other and for customers.
Sample Deliverables:
- Purpose & Mission statements
- Values & Actions matrix
Phase 2 — Strategic Alignment
Goal: Connect long-term strategy to short-term execution.
Use the 36Y Goal-Setting framework and Strategic Anchors to align priorities across all levels of your organization.
Sample Deliverables:
- 3–5 Strategic Anchors
- Company-wide 36Y goals and tracking tools
Phase 3 — Structural Alignment
Goal: Clarify roles, responsibilities, and growth pathways.
Implement Job Banding and the Employee Bill of Rights to bring fairness, transparency, and accountability to how people work.
Sample Deliverables:
- Six-band role framework
- Employee Bill of Rights document integrated into onboarding
Phase 4 — Accountability & Feedback
Goal: Reinforce alignment through regular feedback loops.
Launch the Feedback & Alignment Program (F&AP) to ensure values, roles, and goals stay connected over time.
Sample Deliverables:
- Self-assessment and manager feedback forms
- Development plans tied to 36Y goals and values
Phase 5 — Implementation & Adaptation
Goal: Make the system a habit, not a project.
Roll out frameworks in waves, gather feedback, and adapt as your organization evolves.
Sample Deliverables:
- Implementation roadmap and cadence
- Quarterly reviews and annual refresh cycle
Start Small or Go All In
You can begin with a single framework—like 36Y or Job Banding—or roll out the entire cascade.
Each phase works independently but gains strength when connected.
The result is an organization that runs with clarity, alignment, and purpose—every day.
