OpsReadyPro Live Lab: A Hands-On Ops Workshop, Sponsored by BMO x Watson Institute
Operations professionals are the backbone of small businesses and nonprofit organizations. They build systems, improve processes, and help teams get things done.
Whether you’re exploring operations for the first time or looking to apply your existing skills in a new way, this workshop will introduce you to a practical framework for systems and process development.
Join OpsReadyPro for a 4-hour, hands-on workshop led by Alice Foy, an event producer turned entrepreneur with 10+ years of experience helping nonprofits and businesses work better.
We’re partnering with a Chicago nonprofit to tackle a real organizational challenge. Together, we’ll:
Learn about the organization and its needs.
Explore solutions to a real-world challenge.
Collaborate to develop a deliverable.
You’ll leave with practical skills, a portfolio-ready work sample, and new professional connections. Lunch is included.
