BizOps Defined

  • Business operations (BizOps) is a centralized team shaping how a company works, distinct from building or selling.
  • It's a chameleon-like field, constantly evolving and adapting to company needs, making it hard to define.

Breaking into BizOps

  • To get into BizOps, understand each company division and its success metrics (e.g., close rate for sales).
  • Diagnose company pain points by asking investigative questions and offering solutions based on those pain points.
ADVICE

Diagnosing Company Pain Points

  • Diagnose problems by starting with positive questions, then peeling back layers to uncover root causes, not symptoms.
  • Use pattern recognition to connect seemingly disparate issues and suggest solutions based on proven methods and social proof.
