Operation Departments
GOALS

The role of Chief Operations Officer (COO) is vital in any organization. It’s not just about ‘keeping the lights on’. 

Operations departments are constantly looking to optimize the running of the business by smoothing out the edges and hiring the right people. Chief Operations Officers want to add value by affecting change, instead of getting consumed by change.
