This Month’s Challenge: SOPs That Actually Get Used
Most SOPs are either ignored, outdated, or burdensome. But when done right, they’re the infrastructure of scale. So here’s the question we’re tackling:
How do you get your team to actually create and use Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) — without overburdening them or yourself?
How it Works
1️⃣ The Hot Seat 🔥
Rodrigo Fuentes will share the real-world challenge: building usable SOPs from team-recorded workflows and AI-generated drafts. We'll walk through the process — including custom GPTs that convert screen recordings into timestamped SOPs in Google Docs — and what’s still not working.
2️⃣ Expert Insights
We’ll break down the challenge with two expert perspectives:
- John (JC) Lightcap, MBA PMP brings an operational lens grounded in his experience building systems at NATO, Wells Fargo, and high-growth companies. He’ll explore how SOPs can serve as high-leverage tools for owner enablement and team independence.
- Alex Kuklinski, founder of fyi.io, will demo how teams are using video + fyiio’s tech to make updatable, scalable SOPs from visual content — turning “how-to” moments into permanent, shareable knowledge.
3️⃣ Facilitated Discussion
We’ll challenge assumptions, pressure-test ideas, and uncover frameworks that work. No fluff. No slides. Just real talk.
4️⃣ Audience Q&A
Attendees can ask questions so we can all learn from each other. Bring your specific pain points or just take notes and learn.
We’ll Dig Into
- When an SOP is helpful and when it's overkill
- The art of documenting “just enough” without bogging down
- Templates, tools, and AI workflows that keep SOPs fresh and relevant
- Strategies for team adoption (vs. SOPs gathering digital dust)
- How to turn screen recordings and tribal knowledge into scalable documentation
Who Should Attend?
- Ops leaders (Sales, Marketing, People, RevOps) aiming to scale without chaos
- Founders and execs seeking structure that empowers teams
- AI/automation consultants building internal playbooks
- Anyone struggling to make SOPs that people actually use
Our Promise To You
- No sales pitches
- No theoretical fluff
- Just real operators solving real problems
