What does the mandate own?
The operations mandate owns the running of the business: supply chain, the operating model, finance operations and the governance that holds them together. The operator carries the seat, compresses the cycles that slow the business, and designs the operating model the permanent team keeps running.
When do you bring it in?
Bring the mandate in when supply chain or operations cannot keep pace, when an operating model has to be redesigned, or when an operations seat is open during a critical period. It fits a transition where the machine has to keep running while it is being rebuilt.
