Frequently asked questions
Compiled from real conversations with owners about training, operations, and building a business that doesn't depend on them.
Operations and management, taught plainly. The core topics are Lean and continuous improvement, process improvement (cutting waste, delay and rework), and the fundamentals of running a team: planning, standard ways of working, and using a few numbers to steer. We build it for owners, new managers, and front-line teams, and we teach it in French or English.
We come to your team and teach on your own work, not generic case studies. A session can be a half day or a short series over a few weeks, on site or over video. We aim for one open-enrollment certificate you can frame; we want your team doing the work differently on Monday. Everything is delivered in French or English, your choice.
A senior operations lead on a monthly retainer, part-time. Instead of hiring a full-time COO, you get someone who installs and runs the operating system: a regular meeting rhythm, written processes, a simple KPI scorecard, real delegation, and the controls that keep it all honest. We do the work with your team, then hand more of it to them over time.
A fixed monthly fee, agreed before we start and sized to the scope and the time it takes. It is a fraction of a full-time hire, with no hourly meter and no surprise invoices. We scope it on a call so the number is real, not a guess.
The Operations Health Check is a free, ten-minute self-assessment you do right here in your browser. It is a mirror: it reflects the answers you give and shows you roughly where you stand. The Operations Diagnostic is a paid, two-week engagement where we look at how your business actually runs, price every gap we find, and hand you a sequenced plan you can act on with anyone.
Yes, fully. Training and fractional operations both run in French or English, your choice. Our founder is bilingual, so this is real working fluency, not a translated slide deck.
No. The training and the diagnostic stand on their own, and the materials and the report are yours to keep. Many owners move into a fractional retainer afterward because they want help running what they learned, but that is a choice, never a requirement.
We work on operations: how the business runs day to day. We don't do tax, formal valuation, or legal work, and we'll point you to the right licensed professional when you need one. Think of us as the seat that makes the business itself run better, which usually makes everyone else's job easier too.
Yes, as one capability inside a fractional engagement, not our headline. Building a business that runs without you is the same work whether you plan to sell it, pass it to family, or simply stop being the bottleneck. If a transition is on your mind, we fold that into the operations work rather than treating it as a separate project.
For fractional operations, owner-run businesses roughly 5 to 50 people in Manitoba, Quebec and New Brunswick. For training, public-service teams and not-for-profits across Canada. Remote, on site, or a mix, in French or English. If you're a founder tired of being in every decision, or a team that needs training, you're who we built this for.
