Strategic Ops, Unlocked: Manish Kapur’s Workshop Playbook

What does it really take to operate more strategically as an agency?

Manish Kapur returns to The Handbook to help agency ops leaders shift from firefighting mode to future-focused thinking. If you’ve ever struggled to carve out time for the big picture while juggling the day-to-day, this episode is your playbook.

Harv and Manish dig into how to run fast-paced, high-impact workshops that drive meaningful change – and how to keep momentum once priorities have been decided. They also explore how ops folks can step up as strategic leaders, driving these initiatives, especially as AI is forcing agencies to become more adaptable than ever.

Here’s what we get into:

• Why agencies that plan beyond month-to-month win long-term
• Manish’s 7-part workshop format that delivers clarity, alignment, and action
• How to navigate alignment across multiple offices and entities
• The role of ops in driving, not just supporting, AI strategy
• Why senior buy-in is the secret to getting big initiatives done

Whether you're leading change or nudging it along, this conversation is packed with real-world tactics to keep your agency moving forward.
