We believe that every business has the ability to be wildly successful!
But unfortunately, not every business owner has the right strategies, structure, or team to support turning their beautiful big bold vision into reality. We're on a mission to change that!
We created the Strategic Ops Institute to do 2 things:
- Elevate the role of an Ops Leader to be a Strategy + Ops Leader (SOL) who is skilled at leading and strategically scaling a small business, successfully getting the Founder out of the day to day.
- Connect brilliant but overworked Founders with the trusted right-hand person they need to bring their vision to life and scale in a simple and sustainable way.
We wanted to create a trusted place for becoming or finding an exceptional, skilled, and STRATEGIC certified right-hand leader - and that's what the Strategic Ops Institute is.

What exactly is a SOL?
SOL = Strategy & Operations Leader
A Strategy and Operations Leader (SOL) is a strategic thinking partner to the founder who acts as the bridge between their vision and measurable results. They drive sustainable scaling by aligning business strategy with operational excellence.
SOLs are the missing link between a founder's vision and results that aren't dependent on them.
We specialize in certifying 2 critical types of SOLs:
-
Chief Strategy and Operating Officers (CSOOs): C-Suite Level SOLs who partner with founders as their trusted right-hand and advisor to scale their business
-
Scalable Ops Managers (SOMs): SOLs who bridge strategy with execution and ensure the right people are doing the right things at the right time to achieve the business' goals
GET CERTIFIED
Becoming a SOL helps you solve much bigger problems which makes you much more in-demand, indispensable, and able to charge premium rates.
SOLs exist at multiple levels of the organization - the question is which level is right for you?
Hi, I'm Crista Grasso, a Scaling Strategist and Operations Alchemist
I have spent 3 decades helping businesses scale in simple and sustainable ways and adopt lean and agile ways of working - from the largest Fortune 50 companies in the world, to online small businesses.
I specialize in working with service-based businesses to implement a complete ecosystem for scaling success that allows the business owner to elevate their focus to thought leadership and legacy work instead of having to constantly put out fires and feel stuck in the day to day.
I work directly with founders through my boutique scaling advisory firm, Lean Out Method, and I mentor, train, and certify right-hand operational leaders through Strategic Ops Institute to be the founder's trusted strategic thinking partner capable of leading and scaling their business through the messy middle.
