Programme Overview
The C-Suite roles are all experiencing disruptive upheavals due to drastic changes in the macro environment in which they have to operate. Chief Operating Officers (COOs) are no different in facing this challenge. The primary role of the COO is that of a central architect in executing the Business strategy of the firm. Amid the growing business uncertainty due to geopolitical and technological changes, the redesign and de-risking of supply chains at an unprecedented speed and scale, and the evolving landscape of process innovations with AI, along with the related impact on human capital, the role of the COO has become even more critical in successfully managing organizational complexity. The measurable impact on the business model to drive operational excellence and efficiency is achieved through the strategic intent and decisions of the COO.
