Map your work

See your work the way NOW OS sees it. Describe any process in plain words, any function, any industry. NOW OS breaks it into steps, sorts each one by what kind of act it is and what it puts at stake, and shows you where a machine should help, where a person must stay, and why. Then imagine that for your whole organization. That is the conversation to have with us next.

Takes about five minutes. We don't keep what you type unless you ask us to, and we never keep the files you attach.

How this works

You describe it

A few sentences in your own words. We ask three short questions: whether there are deadlines or time limits, whether any of it is physical, and what happens when a step goes wrong. Those three can't be guessed from a description, so we ask rather than assume. For more detail, tailor your map with your industry, your role and the laws and policies you work under.

The rule decides

Every step is sorted into one of ten kinds of work, and a published rule decides which ones a person has to do. The same rule, applied the same way, for everyone. We show you how we read each step so you can correct it.

You correct it

Where a different reading of a step would change who does it, we ask you to check - a handful at a time, not all of them. Change it and we work out again who does what — your correction really changes the result, it doesn't just relabel the step.

What this is, and what it isn't

This is what our method produces from a five-minute description. It's real output — the same kind we build for customers — and it's enough to show you how we think about work.

It is not a validated assessment of your organization. Nobody from your team has checked that we read each step the way the work really runs, what is really at stake, or which systems each step touches. That's what working with us adds, and it's what turns this from an example into something you can rely on.
