Based on the multi sectoral need of OPERATIONS, the true definition of the engine room to all businesses thriving and succeeding is this acronym A.R.T.
Activities Results Testing.
Operations is an ART, meaning a group of Activities carried out to the end that Results are gotten, then Testings are carried out to measure results against the set out goals and objectives of the business.
All these will lead to feedbacks from customers and management which will in turn birth forth the continuous improvement of the operational framework.
It is the beautiful and continuous process of the operational flow of every organization.
Operations is truly an ART
We will border on a few topics from the inexhaustible world of operations with Chukwudebe Daniel Kanikwu
There is no one that starts out on a venture or a project that does not intend to succeed, it is ingrained in us to desire success in everything we do, talk more the operational aspect of a business you are stewarding but thing is we are at times quick to rest on our oars once we hit the target that we have deemed as success and ultimately a decline occurs in output and what should have been a launching pad to a new target now becomes a reference point to be attained to, all because the success was not properly stewarded.
Join our operations professional in the last episode of the season as he takes us through operations and success, in his words; "it is easier to bounce back from a failure than to properly steward success".

If you have gone through this process before, you can testify to the difficulty of the process, as we know every staff ID represents a person not just a number. The saying goes "business is business, it is nothing personal" which is very true, as such decisions will need to be taken from time to time. The question this episode is answering is this; is there another way asides downsizing?
