Eight companies, named.
The businesses running ops pods today. Names and industries, and nothing else claimed on their behalf until they tell us we can.
Different weeks, same shape.
Seven industries, and the function that eats the week is the same shape in all of them: recurring, deadline driven, and impossible to hand to a queue you have to chase.
Advisory, accounting and consulting firms that sell expertise by the hour.
Pipeline, onboarding, support and campaigns, all running at once.
Listings, vendor reporting and campaigns on a weekly cycle.
Dispatch, scheduling and the paperwork that follows every job.
Bookings, rosters, suppliers and function admin.
Agreements, delivery scheduling and asset registers.
Route planning, invoicing runs and contract admin.
Drafting, takeoffs, estimating and project admin.
Seven of those eight have a client on this wall behind them. Engineering and construction does not yet, and it is listed because the work is the same shape, not because we are hiding a name.
Ask them what it is like.
On the call we can talk about how pods run in a business like yours, in as much detail as the client whose business it is has agreed to.
