    81% of COOs rely heavily on data to improve their organisation’s operational efficiency (IBM Insight, 2021). Businesses across geographies and industries realise the need to continuously adapt, evolve, and transform their operations to drive resilience for disruption and business growth. In this context, the role of the Chief Operating Officer (COO) has thus evolved into being a major strategic partner accountable for leading the operational transformation initiatives to achieve greater customer-centricity amidst accelerated changes in demand, technology, and data.

    In the absence of a single, agreed-upon description of what the role entails, the COO can adorn many hats—the job is demanding: Build the benchmark, lead operational excellence, oversee execution of business strategies, lead innovation and change initiatives, mentor business heads and teams, drive product-market fit and customer satisfaction, problem-solve cross-functional challenges, optimise costs and enforce operational controls, process-driven review of performance measure, and more.

    In this context, the Chief Operations Officer Programme from IIM Lucknow is ideal for mid and senior-level operational leaders and business heads who want to augment their existing knowledge and transition to COO roles. It allows professionals to enhance their practical, industry-aligned skills with a robust knowledge of both digital and engineering operations management. Delivered through a blend of engaging live online sessions and a five-day in-campus immersion at the IIM Lucknow campus, this programme, taught by distinguished IIM Lucknow faculty, will be most beneficial for senior professionals and business leaders with over ten years of work experience. The programme curriculum includes nine contemporary modules, a capstone project, and real-world case studies, which will equip participants to drive greater business efficiency and impact with a best-in-class experiential understanding of operations and supply chain management. On successful completion of the programme, participants will receive a certificate of completion from IIM Lucknow and eligibility for the prestigious IIM Lucknow Executive Alumni Status.

    The past learners have felt empowered with the industry-leading insights from leading IIM Lucknow faculty and the skills to digitise functions, meet customer expectations, and improve operations and supply chains for a competitive advantage. The second batch commences on December 30th and has a programme fee of INR 5,50,000 + GST. This CXO leadership course is delivered by Emeritus through a digital-first, seamless learning, and high engagement experience. More than 2,000 participants from all over India have benefitted professionally from several IIM Lucknow executive certificate programmes offered by Emeritus.
