If you are running a Regina-based business and you have become the person who has to be in every important decision, every client escalation, and every hiring conversation, this page is written for you.

Ops Harmony provides fractional Chief Operating Officer services to founder-led companies in Regina and across Saskatchewan. The work is delivered on a part-time retainer, typically one to two days per week, and the aim is specific: bring your operations, execution rhythm, and leadership team to the point where things get done without you personally pushing every initiative.

A fractional COO is an experienced operations executive who works with your business part-time. You get the strategic oversight, team leadership, and meeting rhythms of a full-time COO — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Most Ops Harmony clients start at one or two days per week: enough to make a real dent, small enough to justify before you scale the engagement.

Who this is built for in Regina and Saskatchewan

Founder-led businesses, typically $5M to $50M in revenue, 25 to 150 people on the team.
Companies that scaled past the startup phase and are now plateauing around an execution ceiling — the business can’t grow past where the founder’s personal attention reaches.
Leadership teams with the right people, but no consistent rhythm for commitments, accountability, or follow-through.
Owners who cannot take a vacation without things slipping, or who dread Monday because the week resets with everything still on their plate.
Founders who have heard of EOS, Traction, or Scaling Up, and suspect the answer is somewhere in that family of frameworks, but do not have the bandwidth to implement one alone.

What a fractional COO actually does

The label “COO” varies widely in practice. Here is what the role looks like at Ops Harmony:

Operations leadership. Sets the weekly leadership meeting, the quarterly planning rhythm, and the scorecard of leading and lagging indicators the team watches every week.
Integrator role. Translates the visionary founder’s direction into executable work across the leadership team. In EOS language, the fractional COO often fills the Integrator seat. In BOS-Up — the framework Ops Harmony uses — the same function carries a different name but the same intent: one person accountable for the coherence of execution.
Team accountability. Makes sure every commitment has an owner, a deadline, and a visible status. When something slips, it surfaces in the meeting rhythm rather than dying quietly.
Problem resolution. Handles the operational escalations and interpersonal friction on the leadership team so the founder is not the bottleneck for every internal disagreement.
Hiring, structure, and the Accountability Chart. Makes sure the organisation is designed for the next stage of growth, not the last one. Right person, right seat, repeated every quarter.

If you are familiar with EOS or Traction: yes, the fractional COO role overlaps significantly with the EOS Integrator. Ops Harmony is not an EOS Implementer — we use BOS-Up, which is EOS-adjacent and interoperable. Most of the operating concepts transfer directly, and we can honor existing EOS tooling (rocks, L10 meetings, scorecards, the Accountability Chart) inside whatever operating platform your team prefers.

The Ops Harmony approach

The person you would be working with is Ty Sutherland — 25-plus years of operations leadership, based in Regina, credentialed as a BOS-Up coach across all four program tiers (101, Starter, Builder, Scaler). The operating platform is Ninety.io, a cloud-based BOS tool trusted by thousands of businesses globally. Your customized BOS lives inside Ninety.io as a single source of truth: vision, scorecard, rocks, accountability chart, issues list, and meeting rhythms all connected.

Service area: Regina is home base. Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Weyburn, Estevan, Swift Current, and Yorkton are all within the primary Saskatchewan service zone. Winnipeg and Calgary engagements are accommodated on a hybrid basis — mostly remote, with periodic on-site travel for quarterly planning and annual planning sessions. Fully remote engagements are also available for leadership teams that have good virtual operating habits.

What working together actually looks like

Free 30-minute strategy call. We talk about the state of your business, what is working, what is stuck, and whether a fractional COO is the right fit. No obligation. Most calls end with either a clear next step or a clear “not right now” — both are useful outcomes.
Diagnostic engagement. If we move forward, the first phase is a short diagnostic: understand the current leadership team, the current meeting rhythm, the current KPIs you are tracking, and the top three to five operational issues slowing you down.
Ongoing fractional COO retainer. Typical engagements start at one to two days per week. The cadence includes a weekly leadership meeting, a monthly review of scorecards and quarterly rocks, and ongoing coaching for members of the leadership team on the operational work they own.
Quarterly and annual planning. On-site sessions (Regina or your office) for the full leadership team, typically a full day per quarter and two days annually. This is where vision, goals, and team alignment get set for the next 90 days.

Common questions from Regina and Saskatchewan founders

Can you work with us fully remote, or do you need to be on-site in Regina?

Both work. In-person is strong for quarterly and annual planning and when there is meaningful leadership team friction to resolve. Weekly operating cadence can run fully remote once the team has the habits established. Most engagements end up hybrid: roughly 70 percent remote, 30 percent in-person for the sessions that need the whole leadership team in one room.

Are you a certified EOS Implementer?

No. Ops Harmony is built on BOS-Up, which is a separate framework in the same family as EOS, Traction, and Scaling Up. If your team is currently running EOS, I can still serve as your fractional Integrator and honor your existing EOS tools and language. If you are early in your framework search, we will build your BOS from first principles inside Ninety.io.

Do we have to use Ninety.io?

Ninety.io is strongly recommended because it is the operating platform Ops Harmony is built around and it replaces a stack of four or five separate tools most teams cobble together. That said, if you have a strong reason to stay on a different platform, we can accommodate it — with the caveat that some of the tightly integrated features (scorecard automation, rock tracking, issue list) will be less efficient outside Ninety.io.

What if we have never used any business framework before?

That is a very common starting point. You do not need a framework background to begin. The first 90 days of an engagement are often mostly about establishing the basics: a consistent weekly leadership meeting, a simple scorecard, an agreed-on set of quarterly goals, and an honest accountability chart. The framework grows from there at the pace your team can absorb.

The most useful next step, if you have read this far, is a 30-minute call. It is free, there is no pitch deck, and it ends with either a clear path forward or a clear “not this engagement” — either one saves everyone time.
