Tools & Templates
We’ve spent 25 years building, testing, refining
and occasionally learning the hard way
what actually works.
Our tools, templates, playbooks, and resources turn that
experience into practical, ready-to-use solutions you can put to work...
Right now.
Why start from scratch when you don't have to?
You don’t need another blank template—or 47 tabs open trying to figure out how someone else solved the same problem.
COG tools are built from things we’ve actually used: frameworks, worksheets, guides, and templates developed to solve real operational and leadership challenges.
They’re designed to help you skip the blank page, ask better questions, and get to useful work faster.
Less reinventing. More doing.
Leadership Mechanisms| Ownership
This toolkit is focused on helping leaders see where they are carrying ownership—and determine who should actually own the outcome. It contains a PowerPoint guide and corresponding Excel Workbook.
Use this practical framework to assess clarity, authority, capability, capacity, and commitment; decide what ownership to keep, transfer, clarify, or resolve; and turn unclear accountability into action.
Leadership Mechanisms| Capacity
This toolkit is focused on helping leaders see where their time and attention are actually going—and decide what deserves to stay on their plate. It contains a PowerPoint guide and corresponding Excel Workbook.
Use this practical framework to identify what to keep, delegate, defer, do, teach, or stop, so you can create capacity without simply trying to squeeze more into your day.
