BizOps 101: Driving Strategy, Execution, and Trust

The Strategy Gap · 2024-05-01

When we think about strategy, we usually picture two groups: those who come up with high-level vision, and those who execute that vision through a strategy. But how do we actually get from ideation to execution? And who’s responsible for seeing that through?

Shobhna Upadhyaya, BizOps & Strategy Leader, joins the podcast to talk about business operations (aka BizOps), which she explains as the team responsible for that important middle phase between strategy development and implementation. In demystifying BizOps, strategy leaders across industries can find themselves better equipped to cultivate cross-functional collaboration and overcome challenges within corporate structures and strategy.

Join us as we discuss:
How to maintain objectivity while being embedded in a specific line of business or functional areaStrategies for building trust and influence without authorityBalancing one-on-one conversations and group discussions to foster cooperation and resolve conflictsThe value of clear ownership and definition of roles in the strategy development process

The Strategy Gap

A show about the space between savvy strategy and practical execution — and everything that can go wrong on the way. Ever finish out the workday and realize you were super busy but didn’t actually accomplish what you wanted? A lot of companies operate this way.

Many of us know where we want our organization to go, but struggle to understand how we’re progressing and how to make sure we get there. This is a show about the best-laid plans, properly executing as you scale, and the processes you need to achieve your goals.
