Personal Operations Management: Managing the most important resource (you!) for effectiveness

Operations management is about how companies use resources to get things done, and there are a lot of frameworks and models that can help us understand how to do it. Unfortunately, we usually fail to transfer this knowledge from the textbook to our own life. There is a non-obvious translation of many of these ideas to make the most of your most important resource: you! In this presentation, Prof Jaume Ribera will explore these ideas and how you can implement them.


*This is a free-of-charge event, by invitation only.
