Training

Bring COS to your coalition.

Most coalitions don't need another framework on a shelf. They need a series of guided sessions where the leadership team builds their operating system together — with someone in the room who's done this before.

What it is

A guided implementation series.

A COS Guide leads your coalition's core team through the six components of the Coalition Operating System across multiple working sessions. This isn't a lecture series. Each session is a working meeting: your team leaves with artifacts, decisions, and a written commitment for what happens between now and the next session.

Who it's for
  • • Coalition leadership teams (not just the coordinator alone)
  • • Veteran-serving prevention teams standing up cross-agency work
  • • County and community coalitions in year one, or in year seven and starting to fray
  • • New coordinators who inherited a coalition without an operating manual
What your coalition walks away with
  • A shared language your leadership team uses without having to translate
  • The six components mapped to your coalition — with honest gaps named
  • A written scoreboard and cadence you'll actually keep
  • Fewer meetings that circle. More decisions that stick.
  • A coordinator who is no longer the single point of failure
Typical Format
