Operations management in high-impact organizations

Abstract

People in operations roles act as multipliers, maximizing the productivity of others in an organization by creating systems that keep the organization running effectively. Operations employees require significant creativity, self-direction, social skills, and conscientiousness to excel in these positions. Despite being essential for the effective functioning of an organization, these roles are not as sought-after within effective altruism organizations in comparison to other roles like research and management. Effective altruism organizations may benefit more from hiring skilled operations personnel than they would by gaining additional talented individuals in other roles. – AI-generated abstract.
