Open Org's CultureOS: Your Operating System for How Work Gets Done

At Open Org, we believe culture isn’t just vibes or values-on-a-wall — it’s the system of behaviours, decisions, and operational norms that shape how work actually gets done. It’s your operating system.

Whether you're scaling from 30 to 300 or trying to align a fast-moving team, the CultureOS is designed to be practical, specific, and buildable — not fluffy.

Below, we unpack each component of the CultureOS. For each, we break down what to think about, and what you can operationalise — so you can build culture like a product.

🔄 How We Make and Communicate Decisions = Clarity, Speed & Ownership

This is about how decisions are made and shared — who decides, how quickly, and how clearly. Done well, it builds trust, avoids rework, and speeds up execution.

🧠 Think:

• Where are decisions made: meetings, docs, Slack?
• Who owns the final call — is it clear?
• What’s reversible vs. irreversible?
• Are decisions written down or passed verbally?
• How do you communicate decisions org-wide?
• Is silence consent or a sign of confusion?

🛠️ Operational Levers:

• Decision log (Notion, Slab, etc)
