Designed to Run · For a leave ahead

You have leave coming up and want to ensure the business runs smoothly while you are away.

Ten one to one calls over two months, so the business can run for up to six months while you are away.


The quiet plan

You have a leave approaching, maybe maternity, a much-needed sabbatical. And the closer it gets, the more you find yourself worrying.

So you make a quiet plan to stay reachable. You will keep half an eye on things. You will be there for the important calls.

But it does not have to go that way.

Your business depends on you not because you are irreplaceable, but because it was built around you. That is a design problem, and it can be solved.

The rehearsal

Before you go, you practise being gone, for two real weeks, while we are still with you.

The business runs without you, and you watch from the sidelines. Anything that wobbles, we catch and fix together, while it is completely safe.

By the time you actually leave, your business has already run without you, and you have watched it happen. That is the difference between a plan on paper and a business you have seen hold itself.

Watch

What the two weeks look like


Ten calls over two months

The Aluna Cycle, built for your leave.

01 Attune

What the business asks of you in an ordinary week, documented before you plan around it.

02 Audit

Uncovering everything that would stop if you stopped.

03 Architect

Who decides, who knows, who holds each client while you are away.

04 Align

The pull to check in, and what to do with it.

05 Amplify

What clients hear, and when.

06 Anchor

The two week rehearsal, and what it tells you.

Who it's for

Who it's for

You are a female founder with a successful business and you are looking at taking some time away from it. Maternity is where many founders come to this, but the same redesign applies to a sabbatical, or a deliberate step back.

It works whether you have a team, a few contractors, or you are essentially solo, and we build the version that fits.

Timing

When it isn't the right time

This is probably not for you if your departure is less than two months away, or the business is not yet generating steady revenue. The work needs time to be done properly, and something real to redesign.

No leave on the horizon, but the same feeling? The Redesign is our six-month partnership for building a business that holds without you all year.

How it works

One to one, by application.

Designed to Run is one-to-one work: ten calls over two months, with a small number of founders at a time.

It is by application, and it takes just fifteen minutes to apply. If it feels like the right fit, we'll reach out to you personally. If the timing is not right, we'll tell you that too, kindly, and point you toward what would help instead.
