Operations

Operations

Operations are the activities carried out (business processes) in the overall delivery of products to customers - from product ideation to customer feedback/improvement. That main part of operations is the day-to-day of task lists and procedures for delivering a product.

In terms of replicating an enterprise - the critical enabling asset is an Operations Manual. This is a handbook that outlies tried and true methods that lead to success. Along the lines of establishing feedback loops for product improvement and developer retention, the Operations Manual should always have a release copy, and a development copy. As soon as a build starts, all collaborators need to be made aware of the Working Copy, so everyone can contribute to it.

Flow charts are a useful way to represent business processes. The more clearly a business process is defined, the more it can be automated.

At the essence, the Operations Manual is a specific and focused product that helps others avoid trial and error, and can thus lead to transformation through collaborative, open franchise development.
