Many companies struggle with bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and outdated processes that drag down their performance.

What is Operations Consulting and How Can Chops Consulting Help?
Operations consulting is all about spotting inefficiencies, simplifying processes, and fine-tuning systems to help your business work smarter, not harder. At Chops Consulting, we’re here to tackle your operational headaches and turn them into wins, with custom solutions that make running your business a breeze
Take the Headache Out of Your Business
You know that feeling when you’re stuck in traffic, and every lane but yours is moving? That’s what business bottlenecks feel like. Frustrating, right? When you’re stuck with bottlenecks and aren’t sure how to solve them (or maybe you are the bottleneck), it’s time to give us a call. Here’s how we can help:
Workflow & Process Optimization
Most businesses have few documented processes and no mapped systems. Imagine trying to bake a cake without a recipe – chaos, right? We’ll get your processes documented, streamlined, and automated, so your business is working behind the scenes, even when you’re not. By optimizing your workflows, we help eliminate inefficiencies and ensure smooth operations across the board. Your business will run like a well-oiled machine, even if you’re lounging on a beach somewhere.
Human Resources & Recruiting
Do you dread hiring or training and the black hole of time it seems to take? Let our operations consulting team improve this experience by helping you create the tools to find the right candidates and streamline the onboarding, training, and ongoing management process. We’re talking about a seamless, efficient system that attracts top talent and gets them up to speed in no time. Say goodbye to the hiring headache and hello to a dream team that’s ready to rock and roll.
Project Management
Projects can be stressful and potentially disastrous if not handled right. We make projects stress-free (well, less stress) by starting with a high-level plan, then breaking it down into each element to ensure every piece is tracked, tested, and completed on time.

Now, I know what you’re thinking:
What if I’m too busy to hire an Operations Consultant and don’t have the time to oversee projects?
You’re not alone! Most of our clients come to us because they have operational or tech problems, but they DON’T have the time to learn how to fix them and do it themselves. Heck, many of our clients DO have the skills to solve them, but they/their teams are at capacity with their daily workload and simply don’t have the time.
The good news is that we do. With minimal direction or input, we can gather what we need from you, roll up our sleeves, and dive in to do all the hard work. We already know the right questions to ask, so we come to meetings prepared to get exactly the information we need from you, to bug you as little as possible.
When done, we deliver our results all wrapped with a bow – training, processes, and walkthrough video. We (figuratively) hand you the keys to your car – shiny and new and ready to drive away in.
What if I’m not sure what’s holding my business back or how to prioritize my business goals?
Not a problem! We have a thorough framework to audit and perform a SWOT analysis on each of your core business systems to determine what’s working, what’s not, and what could be improved.
Not only will you have a list of recommendations to streamline and improve your firm’s operations, but they will be sorted by priority and ease of implementation. This means you’ll have a mix of “quick fixes” you can start doing right away to get you on the right track, as well as a list of future priorities to plan for.
What is a Fractional COO anyway?
Fractional COO / Fractional Director of Operations services allow businesses to access the expertise of a seasoned Chief Operating Officer on a part-time basis. Our fractional COOs work closely with your leadership team to develop and implement operational strategies, manage day-to-day operations, and drive business growth.
This is a perfect fit for businesses who need someone overseeing and improving their operations, but either don’t want a long-term hire or don’t need somebody in that role 40 hours/week.
