Three pillars, eleven chapters.
The workbook builds them in the book's order, and so does LFOS: Foundation, then Intention, then Transformation.
Pillar I. Foundation
Chapters 1 to 2. Who you are and where you're going.
Chapter 1. Setting the Foundation
Vision, Mission, Core Values, Service Standards, and a pressure-test of the values.
Chapter 2. Developing a Brand That Sticks
The ideal client, the Seven Spokes, a competitor map, and the brand message.
Pillar II. Intention
Chapters 3 to 4. The plan and the numbers behind the growth.
Chapter 3. The Business Portfolio
Six documents with named owners, built from twelve months of P&L.
Chapter 4. Creating Initiatives and Project Planning
The brain-dump, the milestones, and the Quarterly Pick: one DRI, one definition of done.
Pillar III. Transformation
Chapters 5 to 11. The seats, systems, and people that make the firm run without you.
Chapter 5. Job Descriptions and Key Performance Indicators
Seats by function, one seat scorecard, and the KPI audit.
Chapter 6. Metrics and Data
Your one number, leading versus lagging, and the five to ten number weekly dashboard.
Chapter 7. Meeting Cadence of Accountability
Five nested cadences, and a real weekly meeting.
Chapter 8. Systematizing the Predictable
Inventory the repeatable processes, write one SOP, pick the next five.
Chapter 9. People Playbook
Audit the four stages, then the recruiting checklist.
Chapter 10. Technology You Need
A stack audit, including the Owner's Dashboard.
Chapter 11. Implementing the System
Sequence, ownership, cadence, and a strength rating for every pillar.
The workbook's templates are here.
Where the workbook asks you to build something, its template is on this site, free to download and grouped by the same three pillars. Open the one for the chapter you are on.
Foundation
Who you are and where you're going.
Intention
The plan and the numbers behind the growth.
Transformation
The seats, systems, and people that make the firm run without you.
Then run the firm on LFOS.
LFOS is the same method in software, with your score and your roadmap kept from one quarter to the next.
