Systems Sprint

Come in with a mess.
Leave with a system.

You already know which one it is — the client handoff that always drops something, the folder structure only you understand, the inbox that's become your second to-do list.

A Sprint is three hours where fixing it is the only thing on the agenda. Audit what's actually happening, decide how it should work instead, build it — live, before the Sprint even ends.

You've probably already tried to fix this — a course you didn't finish, a template you never set up. That's not on you. Most systems training teaches the idea, then leaves you to find the time to implement it. Alone. Later.

You don't need more homework. You need the doing part done with you, while you're actually in the room.

Here's how a Sprint runs.

01

Day one, I audit with you.

What's actually happening — not what should be happening. I can't fix a system I haven't seen.

02

Day two is decisions.

Every gap filled with a solution that fits your world, so you can see the whole system end to end.

03

Day three, we build from it.

You get the blueprint and the finished thing — built live, alongside me, from your own decisions.

Marianne Tansley, casual portrait

You're not building it alone in a vacuum, either. Everyone in the room is in the weeds of their own system too, asking questions I answer in real time — so you pick up ideas you wouldn't have thought to ask for.

No gap between deciding and doing. No homework. Pick the system that's actually slowing you down — client touchpoints, reusable templates, an inbox that finally behaves. Three sessions later, it's built.

Everything that's included.

Every Systems Sprint includes:

  • A complete Sprint, live with me — Audit, Decisions, Build
  • Your Sprint workbooks: Audit, Blueprint, and Build guide, yours to keep
  • A working system by Day three — not a template, the actual thing
  • A private Sprint Teams space to ask questions between sessions
  • One full week of Sprint access to catch up and keep building
  • Every session recorded and in your Team within hours, so missing live doesn't mean missing out
  • Real-time feedback while you're building, not weeks later
  • Built in Microsoft 365 — the thinking works wherever you work

What this actually gets you.

Three sessions, three mornings: this means it's not something that drags on for weeks — Tuesday to Thursday, 10am–11:30am Queensland time, and by Thursday lunchtime it's done.

Your workbooks: this means your audit, blueprint, and build guide are yours to keep — something to open again in six months, not something you have to remember.

A working system, not a template: this means you're not leaving with good intentions. You're leaving with the actual thing, already running.

A week of support after: this means you're not on your own the moment the Sprint ends. Recordings land same-day, access stays open until the following Thursday, and when the real questions show up, you message me and I point you in the right direction.

I have far more confidence to move forward now.

Raphael

I'm going to be using Teams and Planner for sure — maybe Bookings too.

Sharon

I am definitely happy with the Systems Sprint processes… it is all very timely.

Megan

I will go back over the days and hopefully pick up some more on the reruns.

Nicole

What's probably running through your head.

“I don't have time for this.”

You've got time for three mornings. That's genuinely it. No modules to work through in your own hours, no six-week backlog waiting for you at the end. Show up Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 10am to 11:30am, and by Thursday lunchtime, it's built.

“I've tried to fix this before and it didn't stick.”

Most things that don't stick weren't your fault. You were probably handed a framework and left to find the time to implement it. That's the part that usually falls over. This is built so the follow-through happens in the session, with me.

“I'm not techy, or my business is small — does this even apply to me?”

This isn't a tech course, and it's not built for one type of role. It's for anyone who's become the place where work lands. If you can attend a Teams call, you can do this.

“I don't use Microsoft 365 — do I need to?”

No. The Audit and Decisions days work exactly the same either way. Day three is where it looks slightly different: I'll be building in Microsoft 365, and you'll be building in whatever you use.

“What if I don't have IT permissions to build this myself?”

More common than you'd think. If that's you, the Sprint still isn't wasted — the Audit and Decisions days give you a clear, mapped-out plan to hand to IT, instead of “I think we need to fix something.”

“Will I keep up, or just get lost?”

It's a small group, by design — not a webinar with hundreds of people. I'm there answering questions as they come up, all the way through the Build day.

Why learn from me.

Portrait of Marianne Tansley

For more than 20 years I worked behind the scenes in other people's businesses — the Executive Assistant everything ran through. I was the bottleneck. I was the system.

Until I physically couldn't keep up anymore.

You can't outwork a broken system. I tried.

What actually works is smaller and faster than most people expect. Not six months. One system, properly built, in a short burst — while it's still clear in your head.

Once it's built, it doesn't live and die with you. It's visible, trackable, something someone else could pick up. That's what makes it a system.

In your Sprint, I'm the one on the screen with you — not a team, not a support desk. Small groups, so you get the attention you deserve.

I've sat in the seat you're sitting in — that's why Sprints exist.

I really didn't think I would be able to use it, but now I can see how I can… this is going to be a huge pivot point for me.

Choose the system that's slowing you down.

Your work runs as dozens of smaller systems, not one giant one. Fix them one at a time — pick whichever's costing you the most right now.

Build an inbox triage system

Turn your inbox back into an inbox, instead of the place work quietly sits and gets forgotten.

  • A simple process for separating noise from action
  • Clear rules that stop your inbox from filling up again
  • An inbox you've already tested on your real work

Build a client touchpoint system

Make every client feel looked after, without relying on memory or wondering who's waiting.

  • A client workflow that keeps everyone on the same page
  • A clear view of what happens next for every client
  • A process that's visible, repeatable, and ready to delegate

Build a reusable template system

Make it once — use it many times. Stop rebuilding the same documents and folders every time work starts.

  • A filing structure that finally makes sense
  • Naming rules everyone can stick to
  • One reusable document template, ready to use immediately

Limited number of spots per session, to make sure each Sprint allows me to connect and support you properly.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What if I can't make one of the live sessions?+

Each session's recording lands the same day, and your access runs through the following Thursday — so you'll still catch up and stay on track.

What if I need to cancel?+

Get in touch and we'll sort it — a transfer to a future Sprint or a refund, whatever fits.

Which Sprint should I choose if I'm not sure?+

Pick whichever one's actually costing you the most right now. If more than one applies, start with whatever's causing the most stress this week.

Do I need to be confident with Microsoft 365, or techy in general?+

No. If you can join a Teams call, you can do this — the thinking works in whatever tools you actually use.

What happens after the Sprint?+

Whatever you want. Build the next system yourself, book another Sprint, or move into Systems Studio for ongoing support — no obligation either way.

Is this a recurring commitment, like a membership?+

No. One purchase, three sessions, one system. No lock-in, nothing auto-renewing.

Come in with a mess.
Leave with a system.

You already know which one it is. The client process that keeps dropping something. The folder structure only you understand. The inbox that's become a second to-do list.

Three mornings. One system, properly built.
