What is a School Operating System?

On-demand Recording (May 2025):

Session Summary:

Schools pour time, energy, and resources into strategic plans with every intention of executing at a high level. But the urgency of the day-to-day can pull teams off track fast.


That’s why I created the School Operating System (SOS). It’s a practical framework that helps leadership teams stay focused, aligned, and accountable so your strategic plan turns into real progress. It bridges the gap between big ideas and daily execution.

In this webinar, I break down how independent schools can use an SOS to make better decisions, prioritize what matters most, and follow through week after week. If your plan is stalling out, this session gives you a path forward.

What You'll Learn:

  • Every School Has an Operating System, Intentional or Not: You already have systems, processes, and priorities. But without a clear structure, it’s easy to fall into reactivity and misalignment.

  • The Business Model Is Under Pressure: From enrollment challenges to shifting parent expectations, schools need more than vision. They need execution.

  • Too Many Priorities Means Nothing Gets Done: Most strategic plans try to do too much. An SOS helps you focus and build the systems to follow through.

  • You Need a Framework for Execution: An SOS gives your team structure: weekly priorities, clear meeting rhythms, and a process to track progress.

  • Weekly Leadership Meetings Should Drive Action: Focused agendas that zero in on results, roadblocks, and next steps keep leadership aligned and moving forward.
