-: Yeah I think there's plenty of very good tracks
that I would recommend and a lot of things
where you're gonna start at some part of the business
and you're gonna make your way to a business operations
type of role.
I think some of the ones that set you up really well
are going to be entrepreneurship
and I'm speaking from experience in that
it gives you a really good understanding
how all pieces of a business work together.
It's not necessarily just about starting a new venture,
you really get to understand how important finance is,
how important marketing is, how important sales are.
So you really get that full experience
of what it takes to run a business.
I think the MBA program at Ball State
is another really good way to do that.
I mean, again, an MBA is going to help you understand
how an entire business works from front to back
and is gonna give you some really good experience
in doing that.
What we generally look for
from a business operations perspective
is experience in consulting.
It just lends itself really well to what we do
in business operations.
The other ones that are really important
are finance and data analytics.
Nothing we do is made without looking at the data
without doing analysis.
Those are how we make decisions and so it's really critical
to have those skills to be able to look at a set of data
and be able to discern something out of it
and make a decision about it.
And then of course we're a business
so you have to understand how the financials work.
You have to have a good grasp, how to read a profit
and loss sheet and then again make decisions
based off of that.
So I'd say definitely finance and the analytics backgrounds
are really important for what we do.
