The chief operating officer turns strategy into running machinery: processes, service levels, sites and the operational teams behind them. Workplace operations, how offices actually function day to day, typically rolls up to the COO, with FM, workplace and office management reporting somewhere beneath.
The COO’s test for any workplace system is operational: fewer complaints, less admin, consistent standards across sites, and numbers that surface problems before they become escalations. One platform beats five point tools for the same reason one dashboard beats five spreadsheets.
