Good morning from the Salamander Resort in Middleburg, Va., where we are about to kick off the inaugural Fortune COO Summit. You can click here to join us for our livestreamed conversations today and tomorrow.
One reason we’re focused on chief operating officers, alongside our founding summit partner Cognizant, is that the COO role is making a comeback, often combined with other roles. Operational excellence is a prerequisite for success in everything from transformations to developing talent, especially at the speed demanded today.
