Session at Ops Ahoy 2026
Workshop
Most organizations look at productivity as a personal tool - one task at a time, within the limits of individual discretion. For operations to scale, it needs structure, and for structures to work, you need clear communication, plus shared understanding. Without visible inputs, handoffs, decisions, outputs, and outcomes, you're not improving productivity — you're accelerating chaos. In this session, you'll learn how Derrick uses process decomposition as a method for solving operational problems and implement it within your team.
