Operations strategist

Naomi Osei

I help founder led companies and growing nonprofits replace heroics with systems, so the organization runs on process instead of memory.

Services

Four engagements

Each engagement has a fixed scope, a fixed fee and a written deliverable. You will know what you are buying before you buy it.

  • 1. Operations audit

    Three weeks inside your organization. A plain written account of where time, money and attention leak, ranked by cost.

    ForOwners who sense the drag but cannot name it
    FeeFrom $4,800

  • 2. Systems design

    The handful of processes that actually run the organization, documented, assigned and measured. Built with your team, not handed to them.

    ForTeams past thirty people
    FeeFrom $9,500

  • 3. Fractional operations lead

    Two days a week for six to twelve months. I run operations while you hire or grow the person who will.

    ForFounders ready to leave the day to day
    FeeFrom $2,400 a month

  • 4. Leadership cadence

    The weekly, monthly and quarterly meetings that keep a leadership team honest. Installed in ninety days, then handed over.

    ForTeams that meet too much and decide too little
    FeeFrom $1,800

Prices are starting points for a typical scope. A written proposal with a fixed fee follows every consultation.

Services in detail

How an engagement runs

Four steps, one handover

No long sales cycle and no surprise invoices. This is what happens after you send the form.

  1. Step 01

    Diagnose

    A fifty minute conversation, at no cost, to hear what is slowing you down and decide together whether I am the right help.

  2. Step 02

    Scope

    Within three business days you receive a one page proposal: what we will do, what it will cost and what you will have at the end.

  3. Step 03

    Install

    We meet on a fixed rhythm. You see progress every week on a shared board, and nothing is built that your team has not seen.

  4. Step 04

    Hand over

    Every engagement ends with documentation, a trained owner for each system and a follow up call thirty days later.

Work

Three case notes

Client names withheld by agreement. Figures are from the client's own records, twelve months after handover.

  1. 5 days to close.

    Nonprofit, 42 staff

    A regional food bank

    5 days to close the month, down from 20. Receipts now go out within two business days.

    SituationDonation intake lived in three spreadsheets and one inbox. Receipts went out late and the finance team closed each month two weeks behind. What was doneOne intake form, one record for every gift, an approval path inside the tool they already owned and a monthly close checklist with a named owner for each step.
  2. 10 approvals a week.

    Small business, 19 staff

    A two location dental practice

    10 approvals a week in the owner's queue, down from 40. He took his first two week vacation in nine years.

    SituationThe owner was the only person who could approve schedules, orders and refunds, and spent most evenings doing it. What was doneWritten approval limits for each role, a weekly operations meeting with a fixed agenda and a supply ordering routine run by the office leads.
  3. 81 percent.

    Nonprofit, 8 staff and 120 volunteers

    A youth mentoring nonprofit

    81 percent of volunteers now finish onboarding, up from 48. The path takes eleven days instead of six weeks.

    SituationVolunteer onboarding took six weeks, and half of the applicants gave up before their first match. What was doneA single application, background check tracking in one place and a welcome sequence sent automatically.

References from each engagement are available on request after a consultation.

About

Naomi Osei

I spent fourteen years running operations inside organizations before I began advising them. The work I do now is the work I wish someone had done for me in year three. I am direct, I write everything down and I will not sell you a service you do not need.

The full story

I am a Christian, and I try to work the way my faith asks: honestly, on time and for your good. You do not need to share my faith to work with me.

Email list

One note a month

A short email on the first Tuesday of each month: one operations idea you can use that week, and what I am learning from current work. No sales pitches.
