Operations

TagLast edit: 21 Jul 2022 16:13 UTC by Eevee🔹

The operations tag is for posts related to operations roles and tasks, meaning, broadly, those which “enable everyone else in [an] organisation to focus on their core tasks and maximise their productivity”.[1]

Not to be confused with operations research.
