The Business Operating System
Learn how to build your own business operating system with this free course.
Join hundreds of businesses and nonprofits who've already built theirs.
Your software isn't the problem
You already have plenty of apps: CRM, project management, invoicing, and a bunch of spreadsheets.
The problem is they don't talk to each other, so it takes your team longer to get anything done.
What you'll learn
Five modules, from figuring out what to fix all the way to building it yourself.
Why Your Business Needs an Operating System
4 videosWhat a business operating system is, and why a pile of apps isn't one.
Where to Start with Optimizing Business Processes
5 videosHow to choose what to automate first.
How to Build Systems
10 videosWalking through the steps of how to build your system from scratch.

Made for small businesses and nonprofits
Teams of 5 to 200 people
You have people and processes, but no one whose full-time job is building systems.
Owners and operators
Including executive directors at nonprofits. You care how well the whole organization runs, not just one department.
Not technical? No worries
I'll show you how to turn what you already know about your organization into a working system.
Hi, I'm Dan Leeman.
I've built automated systems for hundreds of businesses and nonprofits. I previously founded Automation Helpers, one of the largest automation agencies in the world.
I've also led automation and digital transformation projects at Zoom and SugarCRM, with customers like Ancestry, Instacart, and IBM.
Now I run Featureful, where I teach businesses and nonprofits how to build and automate their own systems.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes, the entire course is free, and there's no paid version to upsell you to. I make money when clients want to work with me one-on-one to build their systems.
Do I need to be technical?
No, the course is designed for owners and operators, not developers or consultants. We'll start from what you already know about your organization.
What software will I use?
Most of the course works no matter what software you use today. I build the systems on Zite, but whether you keep your current tools or replace some of them is up to you.
How long does it take?
Go at your own pace. You should start seeing a real difference in your organization within the first couple of weeks, and I keep adding new videos over time.
