A company on your desk, run out loud.
Company mode · Nova Business
Tell her the goal. She staffs the departments, keeps the board, logs the decisions, runs the stand-up every morning and the review every week, and sends the work to the team by email.
Not a project tool. A chief of staff who never sleeps.
Company mode is Nova running the operating rhythm of a small company: who owns what, what was decided, what is due, and what happened this week. You talk; she keeps it all straight and moves it along.
It lives in one panel (press O), it reads in English or Arabic, and every assignment goes out from her own email address to real people on your team, or to her own agents when the work is hers to do.
Six things she keeps running.
-
Five department heads
Product, marketing, sales, operations and finance by default. Rename them, give them your people's names, or let her own agents hold a seat.
-
The task board
Everything in flight, who owns it and when it is due. Say “move the launch to Thursday” and it moves.
-
The decision log
Every decision, with the day and the reason, so nobody re-argues it in a month. Ask her why and she reads it back.
-
The daily stand-up
Every morning, in two minutes: what moved, what is stuck, what she needs from you today.
-
The weekly review
Friday afternoon, a page: wins, misses, the numbers she can see, and the three things for next week.
-
Assignments by email
She writes to the person who owns the task, from her own address, with the brief and the date. Replies come back to her.
What Monday to Friday looks like.
An example week for a small studio. Yours will look like your company.
-
Monday, 9:00
Stand-up
“Three things moved over the weekend. The pitch deck is with the designer, due Wednesday. Sales has two calls today; I prepped both. Finance needs your yes on the new invoice tool, $18 a month.”
-
Tuesday
Work goes out
She emails the content producer the brief for the launch post, assigns the researcher the competitor round-up, and logs your decision to skip the trade show.
-
Wednesday
Something slips
The deck is late. She tells you once at the stand-up, offers to build a first version herself, and does when you say yes.
-
Thursday
You're away
You text her on Telegram from the airport. She reads the board back, moves two tasks, and books the review for Friday at four.
-
Friday, 16:00
The review
One page: two wins, one miss, the pipeline number, and three things for next week. You change one of the three. She updates the board and sends the assignments.
Who it's for
- Founders running a company from a laptop
- Studios and agencies with a handful of people and many threads
- Family businesses where one person carries the whole operation
- Anyone who has ever wished for a chief of staff and couldn't justify one
What she asks before
Company mode moves real work to real people, so the same rule applies: she asks first, then acts.
- Changing who leads a department
- Sending an assignment to someone new
- Anything that costs money
- Anything that goes out from your own accounts
