Why Run Operational Meetings?
Operational (ops) meetings create a consistent forum where frontline leaders and cross‑functional stakeholders can surface real‑time data, resolve day‑to‑day issues and drive continuous improvement. Unlike quarterly business reviews, ops meetings focus on today’s capacity, quality and safety challenges.
How to Use This Template
