Step into the COO seat
If you’re an aspiring or first-time COO, we’re here to support you on this hard, but rewarding journey.
After 10+ years of running operations communities, we’ve seen far too many people who:
- Want to become COOs, but lack the confidence to pursue these roles
- Are stuck questioning themselves and what they don’t even know they should know
- Fall into COO roles without being fully prepared for the challenges they will face - managing upwards, laterally, downwards, and diagonally
We want to equip the next generation of startup COOs with the tools you need to thrive in your roles.
Why should I take this Course?
Increase your cONfidence 💪
At the start and end of the Course, you will fill out our Operations Leadership Competency Scorecard. Our latest results showed that most participants’ confidence increased by 20-30%. Confidence will help you identify and solve problems more quickly and effectively.
Help your company thrive 🚀
In a down-market, it’s never been more critical for companies to do more with less human and financial capital. As an operations leader, it’s your job to put the right people, systems and processes in place to optimise your company’s success - increasing profit and reducing costs in your business.
Build your own operations hive mind 🧠
Through the course, you will gain access to a highly engaged community of fellow operations leaders. These operational experts can give you real-time advice that will help you through all the various trials of scaling.
