Hi all,

Started a new role as a mechanical engineer in a small social enterprise, but my role has transitioned to more operations and business coordination/development. Doing all sorts - looking at clarifying strategies (manufacturing, design, sales), figuring out how to get teams to communicate better, have clearer objectives etc etc, looking into standard operating procedures, assisting R&D team etc etc.

I did a bit of Ops Management and business management at uni, but other than that I don't have much specific experience or knowledge in these fields.

Can anyone recommend any good ebooks (ideally with free PDFs available?), podcasts, websites, etc worth checking out - ideally something with a really thorough intro/over view and then more detailed content.

Many thanks,
Duane

That's quite a list.
I'd be starting with businessballs.com (no this isn't a windup) OR working out if I could stretch to a subscription to safari books online.

Yeah it is ha! I feel like I'm making decent progress, but very aware that I'm probably missing out on some great tools/techniques. Great thanks, will check it out.

Anyone else with any recommendations?

Lean Thinking, a great way to see clearly about the causes not the symtoms.

Are you the scape goat for the business when it goes wrong ?

Too many jobs rolled in to one

Rarely are the words 'good' and 'free' honestly used together in the same sentence and for obvious reasons.
