“I'm the founder of VirtualDOO.com and the author of "9 Ways to Leave Your Day-to-Day Operations".”
Having spent over 20 years in the corporate world in technical and leadership roles, I wanted out.
How could I use my skills elsewhere in People, Projects/Operations, and Process Improvement?
I discovered an opportunity to provide my “Director of Operations” services on a fractional basis to smaller non-corporates that are more nimble and interesting.
Today, my team and I, continue to serve a pick and mix of online business owners with teams of 10-30 staff, mostly marketing agencies and e-commerce but also coaching, education, real-estate to a variety of other businesses.
What is interesting, is that even though the business offerings are different, the challenges they need help with are often very similar:
- The owner is overwhelmed with run activities instead of focussing on implementing their vision and working on strategy.
-There are people challenges. Are the right people in the right seats? Why do I have to give them all the solutions? How do I resolve this conflict?
- Projects and Operations could be running smother.
For me, it has been a delight moving to support online businesses. Things move much quicker. We are able to help them with simple and effective solutions which we have distilled from the very best frameworks that worked in corporate land, without the red tape!
I have since published “9 ways to leave your day-to-day operations” to help business owners know where their blind spots might be and how a Director of Operations can help them if they want to delegate these “ways” to someone else.
