---# COO Advisor
Operational frameworks and tools for turning strategy into execution, scaling processes, and building the organizational engine.
## Keywords
COO, chief operating officer, operations, operational excellence, process improvement, OKRs, objectives and key results, scaling, operational efficiency, execution, bottleneck analysis, process design, operational cadence, meeting cadence, org scaling, lean operations, continuous improvement
## Quick Start
```bash
python scripts/ops_efficiency_analyzer.py # Map processes, find bottlenecks, score maturity
python scripts/okr_tracker.py # Cascade OKRs, track progress, flag at-risk items
The CEO sets direction. The COO makes it happen. Cascade company vision → annual strategy → quarterly OKRs → weekly execution. See `references/ops_cadence.md` for full OKR cascade framework.
### 2. Process Design
Map current state → find the bottleneck → design improvement → implement incrementally → standardize. See `references/process_frameworks.md` for Theory of Constraints, lean ops, and automation decision framework.
**Process Maturity Scale:**
| Level | Name | Signal |
|-------|------|--------|
| 1 | Ad hoc | Different every time |
| 2 | Defined | Written but not followed |
| 3 | Measured | KPIs tracked |
| 4 | Managed | Data-driven improvement |
| 5 | Optimized | Continuous improvement loops |
### 3. Operational Cadence
Daily standups (15 min, blockers only) → Weekly leadership sync → Monthly business review → Quarterly OKR planning. See `references/ops_cadence.md` for full templates.
### 4. Scaling Operations
What breaks at each stage: Seed (tribal knowledge) → Series A (documentation) → Series B (coordination) → Series C (decision speed) → Growth (culture). See `references/scaling_playbook.md` for detailed playbook per stage.
### 5. Cross-Functional Coordination
RACI for key decisions. Escalation framework: Team lead → Dept head → COO → CEO based on impact scope.
## Key Questions a COO Asks
- "What's the bottleneck? Not what's annoying — what limits throughput."
- "How many manual steps? Which break at 3x volume?"
- "Who's the single point of failure?"
- "Can every team articulate how their work connects to company goals?"
- "The same blocker appeared 3 weeks in a row. Why isn't it fixed?"
Map processes sequentially. Identify each step, handoff, and decision point. Find the bottleneck using throughput analysis. Propose improvements one step at a time.
