Box Reference Index — Curated for the Project Coordinator¶
Every reference below is a real file in the Cortado Box universe (verified against the local Box scanner DB on 2026-05-14). Paths are relative to All Files/.
This index is the canonical "where do I read about X" map. If something is missing here that should be in the curriculum, that's a Tier 1 idle-backlog item: write the missing doc and add it here.

Project methodology — Cortado's PMO canon¶
The internal sources for how Cortado actually runs projects (Waterfall, Kanban, hybrid). Used in asana_kanban_waterfall_primer.md.
- PMO All-Hands (Jan 6 2023, David's own framing):
Corporate - SHARED/Shared - All Hands Meetings/2023 All-hands Meetings/Recordings from All-hands Meetings 2023/AllHands_010623_PMO_Overview_Training.mp4 - Cortado Engagement Methodology — 11-part audio course:
HR - Learning & Development/Consultant Development Program/Cortado Engagement Methodology/(modules 01-11 +Cortado Engagement Methodology Training.pptx) - One-pager summary:

Project plan templates and real-world examples¶
RevOps Execution System (firm methodology)¶

RevOps in the wild — engagement-specific playbooks¶
GROW coaching model — Cortado-internal canon¶
What powers the weekly GROW meetings in mentor_check_in_template.md. Cortado's internal Goal / Reality / Options / Way Forward version — licensed from Sarah Bedwell LLC and taught in our own consultant development program.
Primary sources (Cortado internal — use these):
- Job Aid (canonical question bank):
CG - IT/Robert Gammon Offboarding/Team Dynamics/Mitch Larson Coaching/Job Aid - GROW Questions.pptx - Training videos (6-part series, Feb-Apr 2024) in
HR - Learning & Development/Consultant Development Program/Consultant Development GROW Coaching Training Videos/: CG_Consultant_Development_20240226.mp4CG_Consultant_Development_20240227.mp4CG_Consultant_Development_20240312.mp4CG_Consultant_Development_20240318.mp4CG_Consultant_Development_20240325.mp4CG_Consultant_Development_20240401.mp4- Related Mitch Larson coaching docs:
CG - IT/Robert Gammon Offboarding/Team Dynamics/Mitch Larson Coaching/Mitch Larson Coaching (1).docxandDriving Concensus Rubruic.docx - Cortado has even built a branded GROW AI assistant icon:
Corporate - Marketing/Marketing - Branding 2022/AI GPT Icons/CG GROW [Assistant].png
Client-engagement adaptations (DO NOT use as canon — these reframe GROW for specific clients):
Clients/CEA Alliance/CEA - Addendum A - Sales Enablement/3. Client Presentations & Deliverables/5. Training & Coaching/— relabels W as "Will Do" and coachees as "Strategists"Clients/DTN/DTN - Addendum B - GTM Build/3. Client Presentations & Deliverables/Deliverables/Big Deal Coaching/— applies GROW to deal coaching (Big Deal Coaching - Husky Cenovus - Cortado GROW 050925.pptxandSheetz - Group GROW Coaching.mp4are good worked examples to watch)
Lesson learned: Cortado client folders contain dozens of GROW-flavored decks because we sell coaching. When training our own people, always pull from the
HR - L&D/track first, NOT from client deliverables.
Cortado-internal onboarding assets (the one I almost missed)¶
The whole folder Corporate - SHARED/Shared - Onboarding (2023)/ is dedicated to Cortado-internal onboarding. Highlights:
- Cortado Group Reading List (Aug 2025 update):

Cortado Message Orientation (Day 1 welcome content)¶
- Recording:
Corporate - Marketing/Marketing - Branding 2022/Message Orientation/Cortado Group Message Orientation Session 22Aug2022 x.mp4 - Companion deck:
Corporate - Marketing/Marketing - Branding 2022/Message Orientation/Cortado Group Message Orientation August 2022.pptx(also atCorporate - Marketing/Marketing - GTM Messaging Build/Current Messaging Materials/) - Interactive example:
Corporate - Marketing/Marketing - Branding 2022/Message Orientation/Interactive Message Orientation Examples/Interactive Message Orientation Example.pdf
Engagement Workstream Orientation decks — examples, not curriculum¶
Corporate - SHARED/Shared - Engagment Workstream Orientation/ contains client-specific orientation decks (built for DTN, Vomela, etc.) — they are NOT generic training. The pattern they reveal is useful: Cortado builds workstream-specific orientation decks for clients at the start of an engagement, and the PC will help produce these. Skim ONE of them only if and when the project coordinator is about to be on a similar workstream, to see the shape of the deliverable. Do not read them as foundational learning.
1099 contractor source documents (already in Box)¶
- Current Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA) template:
Corporate - DocuSign Downloads/Cortado_Group_Independent_Contractor_Agreement_v2026_(rev_011526) (4).docx...pdf - 1099 Acceptable Use Policy (AUP):
Corporate - DocuSign Downloads/Cortado_Group_Acceptable_Use_Policy_051223_1099_Only 1.docx...pdf - Referral Sources Addendum:
Corporate - DocuSign Downloads/Cortado_Group_Independent_Contractor_Referral_Sources_Addendum_B_240318...pdf - Recent signed examples: the same DocuSign Downloads folder contains signed contracts for Karen Loiterstein, Todd Ervin, Grupo Revenue, and others — useful as filled-in worked examples
Talent / onboarding source materials (precedent)¶
All in HR - Learning & Development/Consultant Development Program/Additional Brilliance/Talent Program/6 - Talent Onboarding/:

(The Clarus docs are role-specific onboarding for a client engagement, but they show the shape of a strong onboarding doc — useful pattern to copy.)

Resources that live OUTSIDE Box¶
Not everything is in Box. Don't write a Box-shaped artifact when the right home is somewhere else.
- PMO Site (the "CG Wiki"): https://sites.google.com/cortadogroup.com/pmo/ — Google Site that holds the canonical glossary, presentation checklist, 5 Whys, foundational analyses, and project management reference material. This is the home of PM Excellence content; the doc-shaped artifacts in this folder are drafts that should land there once stable.
- Innovation Studio (pattern reference): https://innovationstudio.cortadogroup.ai/ — the model for how a Cortado practice area publishes its own site. A future
projectcoordinator.cortadogroup.aiwould be the natural home for the project coordinator curriculum + 1099 orchestration content. - Talent Portal: https://talent.cortadogroup.com — applicant pipeline and scoring; not in Box
- PSA: https://psa.cortadogroup.com — resourcing, capacity, and timesheets (including idle-backlog work logging); not in Box
- Asana — every live project plan; Box holds exports and snapshots, not the source of truth
Known gaps in the Box library (idle-backlog opportunities)¶
Verified against the Box DB. The project coordinator should write the following because they genuinely don't exist:
- ~~A Kanban-for-RevOps primer~~ — now exists as
asana_kanban_waterfall_primer.mdin this folder; should be migrated into Box once stable - A "what changes vs. what stays" RevOps engagement comparison
That's it — the rest of the gaps I previously listed turned out to be either: (a) wrong home (glossary lives in the CG Wiki, not Box), (b) not a real artifact (Box folder hygiene is a Week-2 exercise of comparing existing folders, not a doc), or (c) possibly documented elsewhere and still being confirmed (1099 orchestration — flagged for verification with your onboarding mentor or David).
