Systems Thinking Workshop with Vibe Optimizer

A full-day systems thinking workshop with Derrick Mains — Emmy Award–winning storyteller, five-time author, creator of The System, and Vistage Worldwide's 2025 Top Speaker — and Bill Green of Vibe Optimizer. Walk away with 7+ tools to see your business in a completely different light. Strong systems are the foundation of scalable businesses.
 
Without systems, growth creates chaos. With systems, growth becomes intentional, repeatable, and sustainable. This workshop helps you build that foundation.
    Build Systems That Actually Work
Learn how to create simple, scalable systems that reduce chaos and improve consistency across your business.
 
Turn Knowledge into Repeatable Processes
Capture what’s currently in your head (or your team’s heads) and turn it into documented, repeatable workflows.
 
Eliminate Bottlenecks & Inefficiencies
Identify where things are slowing down and implement systems that streamline operations.
 
Create Clarity for Your Team
Develop processes that allow your team to execute with confidence—without constant oversight.
  This is a hands-on, working session — not a lecture.

• Guided instruction and frameworks
• Real-time system building
• Practical exercises you’ll complete during the session
• Collaborative learning with other business leaders

 
Attendees will leave with systems started (or completed), not just ideas.
   This workshop is ideal for:

• Business owners and entrepreneurs
• Leadership teams and managers
• Operations and process-focused professionals
• Anyone looking to scale without adding unnecessary complexity

By the end of this workshop, you will:

• Have a clear understanding of how systems drive business growth
• Begin building at least one core system for your business
• Identify gaps and inefficiencies in your current operations
• Walk away with a framework you can apply across your entire organization

• Interactive and engaging environment
• Practical tools and frameworks
• Real-world application (not just theory)
• Immediate takeaways you can implement right away

YOUR FACILITATORS 

 
Derrick Mains
Creator of The System · Emmy Award–Winning Storyteller · Five-Time Author · Vistage Worldwide's 2025 Top Speaker

Derrick built The System from 35 years of field-tested methodology — originally designed for Army Ranger communications, then adapted for business at Sprint Corporation and deployed across 150+ companies, from early-stage to the Fortune 10. His first Process Triage workshop discovered a 32-day process that contained only 91 minutes of actual work.

He's a five-time author who's facilitated over 100,000 people through systems thinking transformations and trains certified facilitators worldwide. When Derrick walks into your business, he sees what you can't — the invisible system problems that your org chart was never designed to show you.

He's an award-winning Vistage speaker who's coached 700+ leaders across healthcare, construction, education, and services.

He brought Derrick to Detroit because he's seen what happens when leaders stop blaming people and start fixing systems. The results aren't incremental — they change how the whole team operates. Bill will co-facilitate the workshop and bring his deep knowledge of leadership dynamics and team optimization.
