Operating systems for high-performance teamwork
We strengthen how teams communicate, decide, execute, and hold under pressure.
origin
CollaborationOS is built on lessons learned where the stakes are literal. Founded by Northwestern professor and Broadway designer Marcus Doshi, the firm’s methodology was refined in three demanding arenas: design for live performance, academic research, and high-reliability technical diving.
This work is grounded in Marcus’s real-world experience that when pressure rises, your "culture" is only as strong as your systems. CollaborationOS translates this field-tested reliability into a practical practical consulting partnership for organizations ranging from specialized practices to enterprise teams navigating growth and complexity.
services
This work is for teams where performance depends on more than individual excellence—especially those navigating growth, high coordination demands, or real consequences for error. It makes strong teams better: more aligned, more resilient, and more reliable as complexity increases.

BOUTIQUE BY DESIGN
CollaborationOS is a boutique strategic practice, not a training factory. It does not deploy junior associates, and it does not deliver licensed frameworks from a slide deck. When organizations engage this practice, they work directly with Marcus Doshi.
He partners with a limited number of organizations each year so every collaboration model is co-built from within the team, every protocol is pressure-tested, and every system reflects the realities of the organization’s operating environment.
If you want scale, larger firms provide it.
If you want precision, this is the practice.
