Wingman Operations Advisory

The Entry Point

Wingman Workshops

Every Wingman engagement starts in the room. A workshop is a facilitated, high-intensity session with your leadership team — two to three days that surface the real problems, align the team, and produce a plan you can execute Monday morning.

Wingman Waypoint

COMPASS Strategic Planning Workshop

Owners and leadership teams who need a clear direction, a shared language, and priorities everyone can repeat.

What we cover

  • Vision, mission, and values that actually drive decisions
  • The COMPASS Method™ — MDMP fused with Hoshin Kanri, phase by phase
  • Commander's Intent and True North: the mission in plain terms
  • Breakthrough and annual objectives deployed through an X-Matrix
  • Catchball alignment so every owner accepts their target
  • Decision points, triggers, risks, and contingencies
  • KPIs tied to an executable plan

Wingman War Room

What we cover

  • Process mapping and waste identification
  • Root-cause analysis the whole team participates in
  • Rapid improvement events with owners and deadlines
  • Sustainment: standard work and visual management

What we cover

  • Meeting cadence and decision rights
  • Scorecards, dashboards, and data visibility
  • Accountability structures that don't depend on the owner
  • Weekly, monthly, and quarterly operating rhythm
