A leadership system for leadership teams
Walk into every leadership meeting knowing where things stand.
You already know what is waiting for a decision, what the organisation is signalling and what applies. The meeting follows the same agenda every time. Decisions are logged as you make them. X:ActOS, implemented in 8-12 weeks.
Built by Igknight, technical consultants in industrial automation and technical project management.
This is what you buy.
The method
A fixed way to lead: three rhythms where every meeting has a job, and a small set of things you steer by, such as focus areas, initiatives, decisions and capacity.
The app
The leadership team uses it in and between meetings for the agenda, decisions and priorities. Middle managers and project managers use it to raise issues and send a short monthly update.
The implementation
8-12 weeks together with Fredrik, in your existing meetings. After that you run it yourselves, and the licence keeps the system up to date.
X:ActOS does not replace your tools or processes. It sits on top and gives them structure, rhythm and context. How it works
You are already paying for unclear leadership. The question is how much.
More initiatives than you can carry.
Everything is a priority, so nothing is. The same people sit in five projects, and day-to-day operations get what is left.
Decisions that do not hold.
The same question comes back next month. Nobody is quite sure what applies, so everyone makes their own interpretation.
Middle managers caught in between.
They see the problems first, but have no way to raise them that is taken seriously. By the time leadership hears about it, it is already a crisis.
High activity, unclear direction.
Calendars are full. Yet it is hard to say what has actually moved forward this quarter.
None of this shows up in the annual accounts. All of it shows up in the pace.
You have KPIs for sales, delivery and IT incidents. None for how the leadership team itself governs.
How long does it take from someone needing a decision until it is made? Few leadership teams can answer. In X:ActOS, every issue raised to leadership is dated when it is raised and when it is handled.
Can you say which decisions you made last quarter, and why?
Every decision is logged with its rationale, including those made in the middle of a meeting. A changed decision is replaced, and the earlier version is kept.
What have you chosen not to do this year?
No initiative is paused or stopped without a reason and a date. What you have deprioritised becomes a list you can show a new colleague.
How many major initiatives are you running at once?
The app warns you when too many major initiatives are active at the same time.
Do your projects connect to your strategy?
A project cannot be created without a link to an initiative or a focus area.
Do your decisions actually reach the organisation?
Every meeting ends with a short summary to the organisation of what applies, and you can see when it has been sent.
How many issues are waiting for leadership right now?
Everything waiting for a decision is visible on the start page of the app.
What does unclear leadership cost you?
Work out your own figure. This is only time. Wrong priorities, delays and lost engagement come on top.
The first year with X:ActOS costs about SEK 232,000. If your figure is higher than that, the system has paid for itself in the first year.

Open. Lead. Done.
You should not have to prepare for the leadership meeting. The groundwork is already done. When you walk in, you know what is waiting for a decision, what middle managers are seeing and what has applied since last time. You spend the time leading, not working out where things stand.
Open
Everything waiting for leadership in one place: issues to decide, signals from the organisation and the state of your priorities. No emails to search through, no presentation to build.
Lead
The same agenda every time. Every issue has its meeting, so nothing comes up in the wrong forum.
Done
Decisions logged, the summary to the organisation sent and draft minutes ready to approve.
Calm. Predictable. Every week, every month, every quarter.
The same leadership team. A different way to lead.
| Today | With X:ActOS |
|---|---|
| Leadership meetings filled with status updates and firefighting | Fixed rhythms where every meeting has a job: weekly for flow, monthly for priorities, quarterly for direction |
| New initiatives are added, none are removed | Nothing new without deprioritising something. Every pause or stop has a reason and a date |
| Decisions are made, forgotten and made again | Every decision is logged with its rationale and applies until a new decision is made |
| Leadership decisions do not reach the organisation | Every meeting ends with a short summary to the organisation |
| Problems reach leadership once they are already crises | Middle managers and project managers report how things stand every month, and issues waiting for leadership are visible at once |
| Capacity is the individual's problem | Capacity is assessed every month. Major initiatives require a capacity decision |
| Hours spent writing minutes after the meeting | Draft minutes when the meeting closes. You approve them |
This is not a consulting project. It is a commitment from you.
Implementation takes 8-12 weeks in six steps, alongside your regular work and in your existing meetings. No new IT projects. See the steps
- The CEO is the sponsor and takes part in person
- The whole leadership team invests time in the start-up
- A system owner is appointed in the leadership team
- The rhythms are kept, even when things are busy
- You are prepared to adjust your own behaviour, not just the structure
If this sounds heavy, it is the wrong time. Better that than a half-hearted implementation.
One price per leadership unit. Not per user.

Licence and support
A leadership unit is a leadership team with its own direction, its own priorities and responsibility for results. The first year comes to about SEK 232,000. If you would rather start smaller, we begin with a workshop on where you are today.
Founding customer programme
We are taking on three founding customers in spring 2027.
You get the full X:ActOS and direct access to Fredrik during implementation. In return, you give us structured feedback and act as a reference if it delivers results.

Built by someone who has been in the room.
I have sat on several leadership teams myself and led complex industrial projects. I know what it is like when the strategy is clear but everyday work pulls in another direction. Initiatives multiply beyond what the organisation can carry, decisions get revisited and middle managers are left to bridge the gap. I have seen the same pattern in company after company, from both sides of the table, and it is rarely the people who are wrong. It is the system.
X:ActOS is the leadership system I would have wanted when I was in that seat.

Frequently asked questions
It sounds expensive.
Work out your own figure above. If unclear leadership costs you more than SEK 232,000 a year, the system has paid for itself in the first year.
What are we actually buying?
A method for how the leadership team leads, an app that keeps track of decisions and priorities, and an 8-12 week implementation with Fredrik. The set-up is a one-off cost, the licence is ongoing.
Can we start smaller?
Yes. We start with a workshop where we go through X:ActOS, where you are today and what you need. If you see the value, we move on with X:ActOS. If you do not, we stop there.
We already use EOS, Hoshin Kanri or similar.
Good, then you know the value of rhythm. The difference is that X:ActOS builds middle managers' feedback into governance and clearly separates operations from projects.
Does it replace our systems and tools?
No. It sits on top and gives structure to how they are used.
How much time does it take?
The start-up requires the leadership team's time. After that, everything happens in your existing meetings, at a fixed rhythm.
What happens when you leave?
The goal is a system that does not depend on us. The licence keeps it updated and alive, not you dependent on me.
Does it help us towards ISO certification?
It supports your path towards certification through clear governance, documented decisions and follow-up. It does not certify you.
You can keep paying for unclear leadership. Or choose a system.
30 minutes. We look at where you are and whether X:ActOS is a fit. If it is not, I will tell you.
