Managing operations: FusionExperience’s 4th webinar on operations management will take place on Tuesday 14th December.

It was good to see so many attended the first three webinars - Strategic Operating Model Design, Managing Outsource Suppliers and Managing Major Change - in our Autumn-Winter series on operations.

The remaining webinar in this series, accessible from our website, will offer key insights into: successfully managing operations, ensuring your operations are much more predictable as well as reducing errors and complaints

We have seen from experience that driving out unnecessary cost has always been central to streamlining operations. Yet this cost cutting can sometimes be slow to enact and difficult to pinpoint. These cost cutting initiatives need to be done by carefully managing incremental improvement.

This improvement will increase business agility – drastically reducing project timescales (and thus cost) for small and large scale projects. In order to illustrate this, we will be looking at a series of case studies as well as examining the ‘Capability Maturity Model Integration for Services’ (CMMIs) framework, and the relevance this has for asset managers.

Discussing these issues often raises many more interesting questions. By establishing a healthy interaction between professionals on this fascinating subject in the webinar we hope to gather together the thoughts and ideas of professionals from across the industry in order to analyse and write about our and their opinions. We very much hope you can join us.
