Excel as a Strategic Operations Leader

Organisations today are facing unique challenges in leading and driving operations in the volatile economy, including ramping inflation, a looming recession, climate change, worker shortages and employee turnover and supply-chain disruptions. Organisations that are slow to adapt bear unnecessary operating costs and may lose out on revenue opportunities. As a result, there is an increased demand for chief operating officers (COOs) who can deliver both organisational agility and resilience while staying ahead of competition.

Delivered by Emeritus, the Chief Operating Officer Programme is designed to help you drive change in these turbulent times and to not only optimise, but also transform your operations and your organisation. An immersive eight- to ten-month programme, you will develop an iterative approach to aligning operations and strategy while ensuring that strategy articulation is data-driven and customer-centric.
