The COO Operating Cadence — Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly

Executive masterclass for sitting and incoming COOs. As Rodrigo Ureña-Vargas, the new COO of Petrolia Group (integrated energy, four asymmetric geographies, USD 11.4 bn revenue, 2.95× leverage), audit an inherited twelve-meeting calendar, design a four-layer operating cadence (weekly / monthly / quarterly / annual) with an explicit variance budget across regions, and defend the design under fire from the Brazil and Spain GMs, the CFO, and the sponsoring CEO. Surfaces the operating-system-as-strategy thesis through Cook, Tomé, Cote, Hewson and TPS-trained references.
