The Chief Operating Officer (COO) is the architect of organisational execution — translating strategy into results through efficient operations, effective processes, and engaged teams. As the second-in-command in many organisations, the COO ensures that day-to-day activities align seamlessly with long-term goals.
This course equips current and aspiring COOs with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to excel in this critical leadership role. Participants will explore how to oversee operations, optimise resources, foster innovation, and lead cross-functional teams — all while maintaining a focus on organisational excellence.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the core responsibilities and expectations of the COO role.
- Oversee and optimise operational functions across departments.
- Translate strategic vision into executable plans.
- Lead high-performing teams and build a culture of accountability.
- Streamline processes, improve efficiency, and drive innovation.
- Manage risks and ensure organisational resilience under pressure.
This course is ideal for:
- Aspiring and newly appointed COOs.
- Senior operations managers preparing for executive roles.
- Founders and entrepreneurs managing operational complexity.
- Executives in charge of business units, production, or service delivery.
- COOs seeking to refine and expand their leadership capabilities.
The course combines expert-led discussions, case studies, peer insights, and scenario analysis. Participants will work with real-world examples and develop actionable strategies to apply in their own operational contexts.
Day 5 of each course is reserved for a Q&A session, which may occur off-site. For 10-day courses, this also applies to day 10
