What is a BOS?

A Business Operating System (BOS) is, quite literally, how a business operates. It represents everything from an organization's structure to how its projects are managed and its people are led.

A BOS has an integrated set of concepts, tools, and disciplines representing their consistently effective best practices. When learning about BOSs, companies typically ask:

Do I need a Business Operating System?

Every business already has some kind of BOS, whether they realize it or not. Organizations develop habits — ways to communicate, handle problems, recognize successes, and learn from failures.

But although you already have a BOS, that doesn't mean it's intentional or working for you.

Which BOS is best?


There are dozens of existing operating systems to choose from, and most are built on well-vetted common tools and disciplines. External experts design these BOSs to address all major aspects of building a great company.

There's no one best BOS — only a BOS that's best for you.

Do I need a coach?


That depends on your comfort level. A business coach is an excellent option if you want help implementing your chosen BOS, and we generally recommend that route. But you may feel confident enough to self-implement a BOS.
