The Rise of the ‘Ops-First’ Organisation

Whether it’s DevOps, RevOps, or MarketOps — the smartest organisations build operations into design. Ops isn’t the tail end of delivery; it’s the start of resilience.

💡 Operational thinking early saves firefighting later.

3 Things I’ve Learnt This Week

1. Cross-sector ops teams share more than they realise.
2. Efficiency is empathy for future you.
3. Reuse beats reinvention — every time.

Something Personal

We finally got TREKS Adventures live on YouTube! Launching it reminded me how creative projects thrive with the same discipline as consulting ones: iterate, improve, release.

Tool of the Week

Airtable – Excellent for lightweight ops tracking.

🟡 Tip: Use forms for stakeholder inputs to avoid inbox chaos.

This Week's Challenge

Where are you reinventing the wheel? Can you reuse instead?
