Your "On-Call" Chief Operating Officer ... and more.
Legal, Accounting, Finance, Compliance & Operations
Why the tag line “Your ‘On-Call’ Chief Operating Officer”? Putting aside job titles, position descriptions and other human resource-related jargon, every successful organization – regardless of size, industry, organizational structure or any other characteristic – has a person, group of people or other mechanisms that fulfill the COO role.
The COO brings discipline and organization to a company. The best COO fosters a healthy balance of risk-taking and risk-avoidance - see "Why Do Cars Have Brakes?". This person or group accepts a certain amount of failure – in the pursuit of new and innovative ideas that could prove very profitable – while always on guard for irrational exuberance, ensuring compliance with ethical and legal obligations and seeking the most effective and efficient use of company resources.
