Welcome to Operations Buzz!

Operations Buzz is a resource base that explores a simple question: What does it take to run smart and sustainable business operations?

You may not realize it, but Operations is the “heart” of a business. Business Operations manage suppliers, keep factories humming, and get the product to the customer. Smart companies also stay connected with the consumer as they use their products, and eventually “complete the loop” — recover much of the product back as raw material. Look around you – the clothes you wear, the food you eat, the car you drive all are made possible thanks in part to business operations.

Business leaders, entrepreneurs, senior managers, academics, opinion generators give their perspectives on what it takes to succeed in business operations. Articles, visuals, and opinions add to the knowledge base.

Operations Buzz is for everybody curious about business operations. It is about making & moving stuff. It is about making & moving it efficiently, effectively, and sustainably.

I want to hear from you! If you are a CEO, an entrepreneur, a senior manager and want to contribute to Operations Buzz, please contact me. Especially if you are a former student, I will be delighted to hear from you!

Read, learn, and enjoy!
