You Built the Business.
Let It Run Without You.

Train your right-hand leader to lead operations, so you can finally focus on vision, growth, and freedom.

Still Managing Everything Yourself?

You didn’t start your business to spend your days buried in Slack messages, approvals, and putting out fires.

But right now, you’re still:

  • Leading every project

  • Answering every team question

  • Reviewing every deliverable

  • Solving every problem

And while you’re doing all that... growth is stalled.

You know you’re ready for a major change, but you have no idea how to get yourself out of the day-to-day operations!

You Don't Need To Hire!

You Don't Need To Hire!

Hiring a full-time COO is expensive. Risky. And rarely the answer.

But the person who already knows your business?
Who’s trusted by the team, aligned with your values, and committed to getting it right?

With the right training, they are the answer.

You don’t need to hire someone new.
You need to invest in the person already by your side.

In our Clockwork Operating Officer Program,  we take a high-potential team member and transform them into the operational leader your business needs—so you can finally get out of the weeds and focus on real growth.

The Specifics of Their New Role:

Inside the Clockwork COO Program, your team member will learn to:

✅ Lead the team and run meetings without your oversight

✅ Hold people accountable to results

✅ Keep projects on track from start to finish

✅ Solve problems before they reach your desk

✅ Build and maintain systems that make things easier for everyone

✅ Own planning and decision-making responsibilities

The CEO Path to Freedom

Wondering Who To Invest In?

It might feel like it, but you don’t need to find a magical unicorn—you need to invest in the right person.

If the perfect COO had “factory-installed” settings, they’d likely be

  • Detail-oriented

    They can zoom in to fix inefficiencies and understand how every part of the business connects to the larger vision

  • Excellent Communicator

    They bridge the gap between the CEO’s vision and the team’s execution, ensuring clarity and alignment.

  • Execution Driven

    They don’t let projects stall or decisions linger. When they commit to something, they see it through to completion.

  • Direct Communicator

    Whether it’s holding a team member accountable or delivering tough feedback, they handle tough convos with clarity, confidence, and empathy.

  • Resilient & Growth-Minded

    They embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and always seek improvement.

  • Calm Under Pressure

    When things go sideways (as they inevitably do), they stay level-headed, make clear decisions, and guide the team forward.

You’ll notice we don’t mention what technical skills they have…

The most important thing to identify is their natural skills and strengths. 

Tools can be taught (by us!), but these skills are inherent.

If you want even more information about who to invest in, we have an assessment you can use here.

Here’s the projected growth path for your COO

“We now are starting to have the framework to think about every decision in a way that will aid the team instead of holding it back. We've been able to take a step back and get clear on our team priorities, systems, processes, and metrics.

We've started understanding who should be doing what, how to best utilize our people, and how to develop our team so that everyone works only on their genius zone.”

Laura Marston (COO @ alexbeadon.com)

“It’s amazing how--in one session--the Big Promise, IPO, and Decision Tree concepts focused their thinking and started them on their Clockwork journey”

Bill Abram

You Are Not the Right Person to Train Your Ops Person

Here’s what happens all the time:

A CEO promotes a reliable, high-potential team member into an operations role, without giving them the training to succeed.

A few months later, deadlines slip. The CEO is still answering every question. The new operator isn’t quite stepping up.

So they assume the person wasn’t the right fit.

But the real issue? They weren’t trained to lead.

You’re a visionary. You think in big ideas and big moves, not systems and structure.
Training an operator isn’t your zone of genius—and even if it were, it’s not the best use of your time.

That’s exactly why we created the Clockwork COO Program: to give your team member the skills and support to lead confidently, so you don’t have to do it all yourself.

Hi! I’m Adrienne!

The entire Clockwork system was developed as I took my expertise in the large-scale manufacturing world and pivoted to supporting small businesses. 

I knew my Lean Six Sigma certification could make a much larger impact in supporting small businesses. 

We’ve worked with 1000s of businesses over the years at Run Like Clockwork, and I know that many business owners worry, “What if I invest in this person, and then they leave?”

But I want to flip that question:
What if you don’t invest in them… and they stay?

  • You’re still fielding every decision.

  • Projects stall because your team needs your approval to move forward.

  • You still can’t fully step away, take a real vacation, or focus on a big-picture strategy.

Businesses that don’t invest in leadership development lose money, time, and top talent.

How It Works

During the 6-month prgram, students complete the certification process, which includes:

✅ 12 comprehensive modules covering the entire Clockwork System™️

✅ 9 Live learning calls to deepen your practice + integrate the learning.

✅ 4 Module Projects you’ll submit to our team for review.

✅ Access to 1:1 Q+A calls as needed.

✅ Slack community with support from Team RLC & other certified partners.

✅ A monthly email for you that explains exactly what your team member is learning.

Most COO training programs focus only on systems.

Ours goes beyond that, offering:

  • Live mentorship from experienced operators who’ve done this before.

  • A community of peers facing the same challenges, sharing insights.

  • Real-world application so your operator is ready to lead, not just learn.

Your team member won’t just be trained—they’ll be supported every step of the way. 

You’ve likely invested in your mentorship through masterminds and networking groups, so you know how valuable it is to be in a room with supportive peers.

COOs need that, too, desperately!

The difference between an untrained operator and one trained in our proven frameworks?

Hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue, profit, and peace of mind.

You invest in them. They know how to step up.

They start leading the team instead of leaning on you for every answer.

They take ownership of key projects and execute them without you.

That’s what happens when you invest in your team.

And even IF the worst happens and they leave… we’re not going to leave you high and dry!  All of the tools and structure they created after going through the program will stay in the business forever.

But to put those worries to rest, we guarantee that if your team member leaves the company within 6 months of starting the program, we will give you full credit to enroll someone else or a future hire.

If they leave after 6 months, the cost for a new team member will only be $1000.

Right now, your business relies on you for everything.

Every decision, every problem, every next step—it all falls on your shoulders.

And as long as that’s the case, you’ll stay stuck.
Stuck in the day-to-day.
Stuck answering the same questions.
Stuck working in the business instead of growing it.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The leader your business needs is already on your team. They just need the right training to step up.

When investing in them, you invest in your business and your own freedom.

📈 More growth.
⏳ More time.
🏝 More space to focus on what truly matters.

That transformation starts today.

Your Business Can’t Scale Without Strong Operations—Let’s Fix That.

FAQs

  • If you’re feeling stretched too thin, constantly answering questions, and struggling to step away without everything stalling, you’re ready.

    This program is designed for businesses that are scaling and need a strong operational leader to keep things running smoothly.

  • The best COOs are proactive, detail-oriented, and strategic thinkers—even if they don’t have all the experience yet.

    If you have someone on your team who is dependable, organized, and eager to step up, this program will give them the exact tools they need to lead operations successfully.

  • That’s okay! If you don’t have anyone internally, check out our directory to see if one of our fractional COOs would be the right fit.

  • As the CEO, you’re focused on vision, growth, and leadership—not building an operations training program from scratch.

    Our program gives your COO the exact structure, mentorship, and frameworks they need so you can focus on what you do best.

  • It’s hard to nail down a specific number because it depends on many factors like the size and structure of your business, but a well-trained COO means:
    ✅ You’re no longer the bottleneck.
    ✅ Your business runs smoothly without your constant oversight.
    ✅ You free up time to focus on growth, strategy, and even time off.
    ✅ You avoid the costly mistake of promoting someone without proper training, only to fire them later and start over.

    Sounds priceless to us.

  • The program includes:

    • A step-by-step COO training framework

    • Expert mentorship and coaching

    • Access to a community of other operators

    Templates, tools, and resources to systematize and streamline your business

  • Your team member will begin applying what they learn immediately. The full certification is designed to be completed over 6 months, and the average business takes 8-14 months to be completely systematized,  but the transformations start from day one.

  • The bigger risk is not investing in them and having them stay—untrained, unprepared, and unable to lead. The truth is employees who feel valued and invested are far more likely to stay and contribute at a higher level.

    We’re also pretty reasonable people, so if your team member decides to leave within 6 months of starting the program, we will allow you to add a different team member at no additional cost. After 6 months, the cost will only be $1000.

  • We offer two flexible ways to enroll:

    • Pay in full: $6000

    • 12-month plan: $550/month

  • Once you sign up, your COO (or future COO) will receive a confirmation email.
    Closer to our official start day, they will receive access to the first training module, resources, and community. We’ll also provide guidance on how to get the most out of the program from day one.

“The program helped us create better systems, rebalance the team so everyone could work more in their zone of genius, identify the roles that we needed to hire and have clarity on the tasks that we needed to delegate.

One of the best things from the program is that it has given us a framework to easily identify bottlenecks and create solutions to solve them before they escalate.

I know this is something that I will come back to many times as the business continues to grow.”
