Core Operations is all about balancing staffing with workload…. every minute of the day. All tasks done by TLs are designed around this core need. TLs need to understand how to apply all their skills to achieve the best possible balance. OpSync helps them understand how this can be done
Participants get an opportunity to plan an operation for a fictitious prospective client using the operational principles they learnt in the first step. Participants learn the impact of changes in operational assumptions such as attrition, absence, productivity, team leader span etc. on performance
Participants also get an opportunity to put their plan into action in a simulated environment that mimics a live operation. Participants work in groups and will need to deliver results that are consistent with their plan. They will encounter realistic challenges along the way, that they need to overcome
In the last step, participants will present their performance to senior leaders where they will need to support their operational decisions. The objective of this presentation is to convince senior leader that the group making the presentation is the right group for running this process in the future
Sonica Business Services Inc. is a large services company with several business units. The company is looking for a new leader to handle a process, as its current leader is moving to another role. In order to ensure that the right person gets the job, Sonica has identified a few high potential candidates who need to (a) plan an operation and (b) run the operation so as to meet the planned results. Participants play the role of these high potential candidates. They work in groups, and compete with other groups. The group whose delivery results are closest to its plan will win.
