144. Wake Up and Smell the OS Coffee


Season 5 Episode 45


What exactly is OS coffee? It’s a specific meeting structure we use to explore topics related to our operating system (a.k.a. our OS). But OS coffee isn’t meant to be a formal, note-taking, let’s-finally-get-to-agreement-on-X kind of deal; rather, it’s about making space for different subjects to emerge and to do some shared sensemaking. In fact, it’s so casual that it’s less like a meeting and more like a gathering.

In this caffeinated episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans break down how to OS coffee, including:

  • How to keep OS coffee conversations informal yet impactful
  • How to ground the gathering in a “Yes, and…” headspace
  • How to stand one up inside your own system without it feeling like mandatory fun
  • How to use default agreements to create new group norms
