As a serial CEO, I experienced the struggle many times of finding and developing the Operations Leaders I needed who could be part of my chaos solution not part of my chaos problem.
I was running a global Aerospace division of very fast-moving, high-technology hardware and software companies serving global blue-chip customers (Boeing, Airbus, global Airlines, and Militaries) inside of a public company, share-price sensitive environment. With no room for disorganized chaos!
I was lucky to start my career as an Operations Leader working on offshore oil and gas drilling rigs! With no room for disorganized-chaos and very little separation between cause and effect, with potential life and death consequences. So I know great Operations Leaders when I see them! In my Aerospace business, I invested in developing them to be the solution to our challenge.
That is an imperative for you too! Because operations always involve constantly moving goal posts. New clients, new offerings, new processes, new technology, new talent… the list goes on and on… especially when you are looking to scale and grow. All of which is disorganized-chaos waiting to happen! Of course, life is chaotic, how can it not be with the speed of business and pace of change these days, accelerating all the time? But there is a world of difference between the flow of organized-chaos vs the frustration of disorganized-chaos. You need Operations Leaders who not only can tell the difference but can create, orchestrate, and facilitate it as masters of chaos.
REF Temecula Valley is building a one-of-a-kind peer forum experience specifically for Operations Leaders to develop that differentiation as masters of chaos.
Like only the collective intelligence power of peers can truly do! A peer forum experience is like a hall of mirrors, illuminating opportunities for learning and growth 360 degrees in the round.
A confidential setting with no competitors (or other conflicts of interest of any kind), a peer forum is a safe place where learners come with a beginner's mind, where the good comes to become great, and where the best comes to get better.
If you are a CEO wishing your Operations Leader would fully become the master of chaos that you need, you are not alone! Invest in them being a member of this forum.
If you are an Operations Leader who wants to be amongst the best getting better, you are not alone! Ask for your CEO’s support to invest in your being a member of this forum.
The Operations Leadership Forum is only half a day per month of an in-person monthly meeting and a modest membership subscription.
There is no long-term contract. Our members vote with their wallets and their feet, staying a long time as they find it such a great ROI.
So there is very little to lose. Plus lots to gain. Access expert insights and form deep and meaningful relationships in a confidential setting of diverse members with no competitors. Bring your most strategic, critical, and intractable issues, problems, challenges, and opportunities to a safe place to process with the forum. Belong to a community of leaders powered by collective intelligence, locally, regionally, nationally, and globally.
There are only 15 seats available for non-competing members in this first Operations Leadership Forum. So don’t miss out. Contact us today to express your interest at mrichardson@ref.global.
