Agility Unleashed, bought to you by Sage - The Chief Operating Officer

Welcome to “Agility Unleashed”, brought to you by Sage – a series of podcasts which helps Britain’s businesses pick their way out of the pandemic. Each week we look from the past to the future through the eyes of a single business function; with advice from real businesses and technology experts. This week it’s the Chief Operating Officer or COO.

The COO isn’t just the Chief Executive’s right hand person – the COO’s job is to keep the train on the tracks. They turn ideas and strategies into a scaled up operation – and they make business-as-usual happen every day. So when a crisis comes along and business-as-usual doesn’t happen every day, it’s the COO who steps up. Remote working? Refactoring production lines? Changing business models or just dealing with complexity? Our chief Operating Officer deals with it all; and in this show, we’ll find out how and what’s next.
