Wingman Operations Advisory

The Offering

Plan. Do. Fix. Advise. Workshop.

Every engagement starts with a workshop. From there the path takes one of four forms — depending on whether you need direction, an operator embedded, a problem solved, or an advisor on call.

Plan

Evidence and direction before action — assessment and strategic planning.

Operational Assessment

3–4 weeks

Owners who want an evidence-based picture of the business before spending a dollar on change.

  • 15-area operational health score (0–100)
  • Department report cards and process maturity review
  • Risk heat map and top risks register
  • Prioritized roadmap with a 90-day action plan

Strategic Planning & Roadmap

4–6 weeks

Leadership teams that need a 1–3 year plan the whole company can repeat.

  • The COMPASS Method™: MDMP discipline plus Hoshin Kanri deployment
  • Breakthrough objectives cascaded to annual priorities
  • KPI architecture tied to an executable plan
  • Resource and sequencing decisions made explicit
  • Communication cascade to every level

Do

Embedded operational leadership that runs the work with your team.

Fractional COO

Engagement-based

Companies that need an experienced operator to run a defined scope of work — without a full-time executive hire.

  • Defined-scope engagement with clear deliverables and exit criteria
  • Owns the operating rhythm, scorecard, and execution for the engagement
  • Mentors your emerging operations leaders and transfers capability
  • Scales up or down based on the work, not a permanent seat on the org chart

Fractional Chief Transformation Officer

Engagement-based

Organizations that need a broken process, system, or way of working fixed — without hiring someone to run daily operations.

  • Uses Lean Six Sigma to diagnose waste, variation, and root causes
  • Builds and leads the change roadmap from current state to future state
  • Implements process improvements with the people doing the work
  • Installs controls, measures results, and transfers ownership before exiting

Fix

Defined-scope engagements that eliminate a specific problem.

Operational Breakthrough Sprint

4–12 weeks

One acute operational problem that needs to be solved now.

  • Focused diagnosis of a single broken process or function
  • Root-cause elimination, not symptom management
  • Implemented with your team, not handed off in a binder
  • Measurable result before the engagement closes

Wingman Operational Reset

6 months

Businesses where the chaos is systemic, not localized.

  • Full operational assessment as the foundation
  • Process, structure, and accountability rebuilt in sequence
  • Leadership coaching through the change
  • 90-day action plans executed in two cycles

Advise

An experienced operator at your table, on an ongoing cadence.

Executive Advisory

Monthly retainer

Owners who want an experienced operator on call for the decisions that matter.

  • Structured monthly sessions with the owner or leadership team
  • Direct access between sessions
  • Accountability on the plan built in your workshop
  • Tiered membership to match your cadence
