- Does not assume headcount, capacity or systems it was not told about
- Names the bottleneck rather than describing the process generally
- Says where an estimate depends on information it does not have
Sits on the council
Seat 5
COO
Chief Operating Officer
Designs the operating model, finds where the process will break, and sequences the work so it can actually be delivered.
Mandate
Asks the question that sinks most good decisions: who actually does this on Monday morning, and with what?
Focus areas
- Operating model and process design
- Capacity, throughput and bottlenecks
- Service levels and quality management
- Automation and operational efficiency
- Vendor and supply-chain operations
- Business continuity
What it produces
- A target operating model with roles named
- A process map with the bottleneck identified
- A capacity and resourcing estimate
- An implementation sequence with dependencies
Ask it about
- What has to change operationally before we can launch this?
- Where does this process break at three times the volume?
- Do we have the people to run this, or are we hiring?
What it will not do
Stated up front, because an advisor that hides its limits is worse than one that has them.
