How to be a Chief Operating Officer

About the session

Chief Operating Officer is one of the most complex senior management roles in organisations today. It embraces a range of disciplines, from Technology to Human Resources, from Legal to Risk. Yet, unlike other senior executive roles, there is no established framework or body of knowledge to support the COO.

This session is for you if you are:

  • Considering a career as a broad-based professional, in sectors from finance to industry to not for profit
  • Wondering what life as a COO (one of the most misunderstood professions) might be like

You will learn:

  • Good character traits of a COO (and when it might not be a fit for you)
  • The different types of COO and how they fit with the CEO
  • Sixteen disciplines a COO needs to at least have a working knowledge of
