Eranovus redesigns the execution operating systems of VC-backed B2B software companies so AI-era throughput compounds into growth you can count on.
At scale, the constraint is rarely strategy. It is the system that turns strategy into execution. AI accelerates what teams can produce — and exposes the limits of the operating model above them.
You see it when:
Most CEOs respond to coordination breakdown by hiring — a Chief of Staff, a VP Operations, a Programme Manager. The hire is rarely wrong. The timing usually is. Hiring someone to fix an undesigned operating model fails predictably; hiring someone to operate a designed one succeeds. Eranovus redesigns the model first.
Getting it right requires precision — the right diagnosis before the right intervention.
Growth problems root in different places — market fit, capability gaps inside a function or, where Eranovus works, a leadership team whose decision and coordination capacity hasn't kept pace with AI-enabled execution.
We locate the constraint before prescribing anything. We are not a hammer looking for a nail.
Where coordination is the issue, we ensure structural failures (absent decision rights, priorities that aren't held) and behavioural constraints are distinguished. Each needs a different response.
Every engagement runs alongside the leadership team — producing mechanisms the team operates on Monday, not recommendations that need a second firm to install.
The work is governed by the Eranovus Execution Operating System — seven components that determine how cleanly strategy converts into execution:
Where to start
A half-day facilitated workshop that teaches the seven components of the execution operating system and maps your business against them live. Your leadership team leaves with shared language on where execution is breaking and a written memo with the top hypotheses on where to focus. The lowest-commitment way to see whether the frame fits.
A comprehensive constraints diagnostic of your leadership operating model. Structured interviews across leadership, product, engineering and GTM. Board-grade assessment of where the system is about to fail, with commercial stakes tied to the KPIs you and the board already track. A prioritised plan you can act on whether or not you engage us for the redesign.
Redesigning how the leadership team decides, prioritises, coordinates and tracks execution — lever by lever. The output is a working operating system the exec team runs with on Monday, not a strategy document. Covers decision architecture, operating cadence, WIP discipline and execution visibility. Scoped to the components that matter most, or across the full system.
Strategy translated into explicit priorities, trade-offs and ownership.
Time moves from updates and coordination to direction and decisions.
Delivery no longer depends on constant escalation or heroics.
Direction from leadership. Execution through the system.
Complete a five-minute, seven-statement check to find where your leadership team's way of working is most likely the bottleneck on growth.
AI-native operations are changing the physics of how software businesses run. Engineering output, customer responsiveness, market signals, competition — all now move at a tempo most leadership operating layers were not built for.
Eranovus was founded to close that gap: redesigning how leadership teams decide and coordinate so that AI-era execution leverage compounds into growth, not coordination failure.
Fifteen years as COO, Chief of Staff and General Manager inside VC-backed B2B software companies — fintech, compliance, data and AI, from startups to 200-person scaleups. The Eranovus framework is grounded in that experience: in having been the operating layer a scaling team leans on, and seeing first-hand where leadership execution breaks down.

"I worked with Ian during a time of major change, and he was exactly the person you want in your team. Calm, positive, and focused — he supported the team brilliantly while delivering on time and to a high standard. He has a real talent for making the complex simple and bringing others with him."Sarah Arana-Morton, CEO | Chair | NED
