Club Calima Portal
Clarity, continuity, and collaboration

Courses, collaboration, and projects, in one shared system
We’re a community first, with founders, operators, executives, agencies, and collaborators who have built and grown real projects. We share some philosophies, we like collaborating, we work with people and organizations where we’re confident we can deliver real outcomes, or we make thoughtful introductions to others who can
As the community has grown, so has the need for a shared operating system, a place where learning, collaboration, projects, and conversations can live together
That’s what we’re building now
Why an ERP?
We have implemented this software for customers, and we've seen the benefits
Courses, with sections and articles
Project documentation, pages, and communications
Forums, events and peer support
Leads and onboarding requests
So that knowledge is reusable, conversations are searchable, projects have continuity
What lives in the Calima Portal
The portal brings together several parts of how we already work:
Courses & Learning
We’re publishing practical, living courses — many of them intentionally released as works in progress
They help explain how we think, how we work, and what good execution actually looks like. There are 3 complete courses now to learn about business and brand fundamentals, and drafts for 3 more courses we consider essential
Projects & Collaboration
For active engagements, community projects and collaborations, the portal allows us to:
Track projects and milestones
Share documentation and playbooks
Collaborate with internal teams and external partners
Maintain context over time
This is especially important for fractional executive work, where onboarding is deep and ongoing supervision is intentionally light
Forum & Conversations
We believe many of the best insights don’t come from polished documents, they emerge from discussion
The forum is a space to:
Ask questions
Share partial thinking
Discuss tradeoffs
Introduce new initiatives and seasonal offers
Learn from other operators and collaborators
Inbound Leads & Onboarding
The portal also helps structure how new relationships start
Instead of cold pitches or vague inquiries, interested organizations can:
Explore our courses and approach
Understand how fractional services work
Start conversations grounded in context
Request onboarding or subscriptions when there’s alignment
This saves time on both sides and sets clearer expectations from the beginning
Why Odoo?

Supports complex workflows without being rigid
Scales from small teams to large organizations
