The Ops Authority

Have you been struggling with scope creep in your work? How can you get this problem under control?

If you are in a project management role, and you have been in relationships where things got blurry after a while, or a project has gotten way out of bounds, you have experienced Scope Creep.

Scope creep is one of the biggest things that keeps operators from being their next best self. I went through this exact same thing, and I had to figure out a way to solve this problem because it was really taking the joy out of my work.

I developed a 5-step strategy to get myself out of scope creep, and it has worked not only for me but for thousands of women who have taken this training.

Join us for this upcoming 5-day Sprint, the Scope Creep Solution.

This episode is a replay of episode 132, which is all about dealing with scope creep. You'll hear me share what it is, how it affects you, and how you can avoid it.

What can we, as operators, learn from the massive operational meltdown at Southeast Airlines over this past holiday season?

Today we are talking about a current event that happened over this past Christmas break, the Southwest Airlines meltdown. I am going to use this example today to articulate what it is that we do as operators, and why operations is such a pinnacle part of business.

If you are a service provider and have to deal with broken boundaries, this is called scope creep. As a service provider, you will come across this over and over again.
