Turn Painful Planning Rituals Into Learning Engines
We help organizations streamline strategic and product planning cycles—eliminating coordination chaos, accelerating decision-making, and capturing insights that make each ritual smarter than the last.
We Believe
The ritual pain is real—
and compounding.
Your annual, quarterly, and product planning cycles consume months of effort but don't seem to get easier or smarter over time. Teams dread the data gathering chaos, leaders lack visibility into dependencies and trade-offs, and critical insights from previous cycles get lost in the shuffle. By the time decisions are made, the data is already outdated, and you're planning the same painful process all over again for next quarter.
You're the human glue holding complex planning rituals together, but the manual coordination is burning you out. Data gathering takes weeks, dependencies are invisible until conflicts emerge, and every cycle feels like starting from scratch. Dotwork automates ritual preparation and captures institutional learning—turning coordination chaos into streamlined intelligence.
You participate in multiple planning cycles but spend more time digging up data than analyzing insights. The big picture is fragmented across spreadsheets and slide decks, making it hard to see patterns and dependencies. Dotwork gives you the visibility and context you need to contribute strategic thinking instead of administrative effort.
You need clear visibility into strategic trade-offs and dependencies, but planning data arrives incomplete and misaligned. Critical decisions get delayed while teams scramble to surface the right information. Dotwork provides real-time insight into what's working and what's not—enabling confident decisions and timely course corrections.
Transform Planning Cycles Into Strategic Learning Engines
We streamline every aspect of strategic and product planning rituals—from automated preparation to real-time decision support—so each cycle builds institutional knowledge and accelerates your ability to plan faster and pivot smarter.
Features that turn rituals into competitive advantage
Each designed to eliminate coordination pain while building strategic intelligence.
Ritual Preparation
Automate the chaos before it starts.
Intelligent data gathering
Automatically surface relevant performance data, dependencies, and context from previous cycles—eliminating weeks of manual preparation and ensuring nothing critical gets missed.
Dependency mapping and conflict detection
Visualize cross-functional dependencies and resource conflicts before they derail planning decisions—giving teams clarity on constraints and trade-offs.
Pre-ritual briefing systems
Generate contextualized briefings for each participant based on their role and decisions needed—ensuring everyone arrives prepared with the right information.
Historical pattern recognition
Surface insights from previous cycles about what worked, what didn't, and why—helping teams avoid repeating mistakes and build on successful strategies.
Decision Acceleration
Make planning meetings productive instead of painful.
Real-time decision support
Provide instant access to relevant data, constraints, and implications during planning sessions—enabling confident decisions without delays or follow-up research.
Scenario modeling and impact analysis
Model different strategic choices and their downstream effects—helping decision-makers understand trade-offs and optimize resource allocation.
Collaborative prioritization tools
Streamline stakeholder alignment on priorities through structured frameworks that capture reasoning and build consensus efficiently.
Live capture and documentation
Automatically document decisions, rationale, and commitments during rituals—creating clear records that prevent post-meeting confusion and drift.
Learning Integration
Build institutional memory that compounds over time.
Cycle-to-cycle learning capture
Systematically document what was learned during execution and feed insights into future planning—making each cycle smarter than the last.
Performance signal monitoring
Track leading indicators between formal planning cycles—enabling real-time course corrections and more informed future planning.
AI-human collaboration workflows
Prepare for planning processes where AI agents surface patterns and insights that humans might miss—scaling analytical capacity without adding headcount.
Strategic rhythm optimization
Continuously refine planning processes based on what generates the best outcomes—evolving ritual effectiveness over time rather than repeating the same coordination patterns.
Why Strategic Rituals Need More Than Project Management
Intelligence Over Administration
Low-code planning tools focus on data collection and form-filling but miss the strategic insights that make planning valuable. Dotwork captures institutional learning and surfaces patterns that accelerate decision-making—turning coordination into competitive advantage.
Adaptation Over Rigid Frameworks
Enterprise planning platforms force everyone to change how they work and fill out extensive forms to align with their rigid structure. Dotwork adapts to your existing ritual flow while making the process dramatically more efficient and insightful.
Learning Over Repetition
Traditional solutions treat each planning cycle as a standalone event, forcing teams to start from scratch every time. Dotwork builds institutional memory that makes each cycle faster and smarter—compounding strategic intelligence over time.
Designed by Product Leaders, For Enterprise Results
“I've watched brilliant product organizations hit walls not because of bad strategy, but because their operating models couldn't scale with their ambitions. The companies that thrive at scale don't just plan better—they've built operating models that evolve in real-time. Dotwork makes that evolution continuous rather than episodic. It's the difference between reshaping your organization quarterly versus adapting it daily.”
John Cutler
Systems Thinker, Head of Product at Dotwork
“I'm amazed by how Dotwork handles organizational complexity. I've watched companies struggle as they scale from high-growth to enterprise, but Dotwork can grow seamlessly with them. Whether you're managing 15 teams or 1,500, the strategic clarity never gets lost. It's refreshing to finally see an answer to both flexibility and autonomy.”
Barry O'Reilly
Co-Founder of Nobody Studios, Author of Lean Enterprise and Unlearn
“That's exactly what excites me about Dotwork—it's designed for the reality of modern product development. When portfolio priorities shift overnight, teams using Dotwork stay aligned and keep moving forward. It's brilliant how the platform evolves with strategy changes instead of fighting against them. Context for AI will be the second part of this story that will change everything.”
Cullen Childress
Chief Product Officer at SolarWinds
“After years of watching companies force-fit their processes into rigid platforms, Dotwork is a breath of fresh air. It molds how organizations actually work—their unique planning rhythms, stakeholder needs, and decision-making styles. The platform becomes an extension of the business rather than a constraint. That kind of adaptability is what separates truly transformational platforms from the rest.”
Greg Stock
CEO at Zenoss
Early Adopter Results:
“This could finally eliminate the months of data gathering chaos and help us actually learn from what worked last quarter.”
— Chief of Staff, Enterprise Software
“I can see how this would give our planning cycles the intelligence they need—we spend too much time on coordination and not enough on strategic thinking.”
— VP of Strategy, Financial Services
