Dotwork

Mind the Product just featured Dotwork’s own John Cutler in their latest article and recap from INDUSTRY 2025. In his talk, John shared why great product teams bring the same curiosity and design mindset to how they work as they do to what they build. The takeaway: when you design your operating model with intent, you create clarity, momentum, and better decisions across the company. That is the principle we’re building around at Dotwork. 👉 Read the full recap and rewatch the talk: https://lnkd.in/gMVpfbia

Strategy frameworks are only as powerful as the data that connects them. In Dotwork, every decision, belief, and insight lives in context, creating a connected view that turns strategy from static slides into living systems. This demo brings Roger Martin’s “Playing to Win” to life on the platform, guided by John May and brought to motion by Kyle Byrd. What used to take hours of setup now takes minutes. You get to focus on the thinking, not the plumbing. 🎥 Watch how connected data powers strategy inside Dotwork. 💬 What could your team do with a real-time map of its strategic decisions? #dotwork #connecteddata #operatingmodel

Constraints aren’t limits. They are design tools. Join John Cutler next week, Nov 13, for an open discussion and AMA on how thoughtful constraints shape better systems, decisions, and learning. This session will explore Basecamp’s Shape Up as an example of how intentional constraints drive adaptation and clarity.

The way your organization works is its most important product. Dotwork helps teams design that product—the operating system that drives strategy, alignment, and execution. With connected data and continuous learning, you can evolve how your organization operates the same way you improve what you build for customers. This is how Dotwork turns your operating model into a living, adaptable system. 🔗 Learn how Dotwork helps teams design their operating systems: http://dotwork.com/

Work doesn’t fail for lack of effort. It fails in the handoff between strategy and execution. Dotwork closes that gap with the Connected Operating Model, a single view where strategy, work, and outcomes stay in sync. When everyone can see how their work ladders up to impact, clarity becomes momentum. 💬 How clearly can your team see progress toward strategy right now? #dotwork #operatingmodel #strategyexecution

Alignment used to mean holding the plan steady. Now it means adapting fast without losing direction. Decisive organizations don’t wait for certainty. They move with clarity and context. ➡️ Alignment gives coherence. Adaptability gives momentum. At Dotwork, we help leaders see both, staying aligned to intent while adapting to change in real time. 📘 Explore this idea further in Steve Elliott’s book The Decisive Company https://lnkd.in/gwQkMvRK #adaptiveleadership #strategyexecution #dotwork

Every organization has its favorite frameworks and models. But as John Cutler says, the value isn’t in the diagrams, it’s in the decisions. The real operating system lives in the daily interactions between people, not in the boxes and arrows. Models are tools for thinking, but they only matter when they change how work actually happens. How does your operating model show up in the way your teams make decisions? At Dotwork, we build for that space between the boxes and arrows. #BeDecisive #OperatingModel #Dotwork

An org chart is a 20th-century tool trying to explain 21st-century work. It draws boxes and lines of authority. Tidy, top-down, predictable. But modern work doesn’t move in straight lines anymore. It moves through networks of context and decisions. Across teams. Between functions. Through trust, not title. The org chart shows control. The network shows collaboration. And the difference between them? That’s where your operating model really lives. 👉 What part of your org already runs on connection instead of control?

Most enterprises still learn in delay. Reports arrive weeks after decisions are made, and by the time they do, the data is already outdated. The shift isn’t faster reporting. It’s continuous feedback. Modern enterprises operate in loops, not lines. When feedback happens in real time, learning becomes part of the work, not something that happens after it. At Dotwork, we make those feedback loops visible so teams can learn and adapt while the work is in motion. 🔗 See how we connect strategy, work, and outcomes in real time: https://www.dotwork.com

Most organizations don’t need more tools. They need a way to see how the system actually works. Through the Three Discovery Lenses: 1️⃣ Operating Fabric (how work really happens) 2️⃣ Organizational Ontology (how the system is structured) 3️⃣ Capabilities (what the organization must be able to do) Modern enterprises can finally see how strategy becomes action. This is the shift from managing tools to understanding systems. In Dotwork, we use this systems view to help organizations connect strategy, work, and outcomes — so they can see progress as it happens. 🧭 Explore the framework: We’ve shared the full Miro board that breaks down the Three Lenses and how to use them in your organization. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gGiDJkjq
