I built OpsReady to solve the challenges I saw holding both talent and businesses back.
OpsReady is a bridge between emerging talent and small businesses.
OpsReady connects operations professionals who want real-world experience with businesses that need skilled, supported talent to move work forward.

How It Works
This program runs in 12-week cohorts.
Each trainee is either matched with a business (OpsMatch), nominated by a business (Co-Ops), or assigned a business profile to work from.
Every trainee supports a real business, and every business receives structure and guidance to maximize the experience.
Apply
Trainees and businesses submit an application.
Kick-Off
Each match begins with a structured onboarding, clarity sessions, and goal-setting.
Train & Work
Trainees complete weekly modules and assignments while doing real work inside the business.
Review & Grow
Alice provides weekly feedback, tracks progress, and offers coaching to help both sides grow.
Businesses get structured support and strategy at the same time.
Professionals can work and learn via OpsMatch or Co-op pathways with guidance.
Everyone works better together!
Why This Model Works
OpsReady blends live learning, real business application, and coaching so skills grow faster and businesses see results immediately.

MEET THE INSTRUCTOR/PROGRAM VISIONARY
Since 2018, I have had a front row seat to how teams and businesses operate. Again and again, I have seen two gaps holding both back. Talented people are placed in operations roles without the mentorship or skill-building they need to thrive. Businesses bring in help without the clarity or structure to make that help successful.
OpsReady is my answer to both. It is a new model that blends workforce development with business support in a way that has never been done before. It combines curriculum, hands-on assignments inside active businesses, and one-on-one mentorship to grow skills while important work moves forward.
This is purpose work for me. It is about preparing people for their assignments and walking with them as they step into leadership. It is about giving businesses the structure and capacity they need without pausing their momentum.
When professionals grow and businesses are strengthened at the same time, it changes what is possible. That is the future I am building with OpsReady.

"OpsReady helped me rethink my role, restructure my systems, and confidently operate in the space I’m called to lead in."
Through OpsReady, I gained two major breakthroughs: realizing my work didn’t align with the title or offers I had built, and learning how to audit a tech stack in the simplest, most practical way. This program helped me rethink my role, restructure my systems, and confidently operate in the space I’m called to lead in.

"Your holistic approach and focus on grace are a powerful reminder to keep people at the center of the work."
Alice, your holistic approach is so appreciated. I value how you address the human side of the work we do. It’s easy to get consumed with tasks and lose sight of the people we’re supporting. The mindset of operating from a place of grace stood out to me because it’s a reminder not to become so task-driven that you forget about the person you’re completing the work for.

"I’m now more confident as an aspiring business analyst supporting organizations with clarity and skill."
OpsReady was a welcoming space for collaborative service. I appreciated the opportunity to directly glean from Alice, whose sessions were thorough, interactive, and informative. Working with other systems professionals and seeing different approaches during our client breakout was invaluable. I’m now more confident as an aspiring business analyst supporting organizations with workflows, ideal tech stacks, and short-term strategic planning.

"Alice’s framing helped elevate our work from tactical to strategic."
OpsReady was a valuable experience! I appreciated the opportunity to connect with other professionals and contribute to a real-world deliverable. The framing offered by Alice helped elevate our work from tactical to strategic. This is what I am working on presently, being more strategic, less reactive.

BETA Testimonials
Real businesses.
Real results.
Crystal Shaw, Bold Ventures
“ One of their initial questions about functional areas even sparked an idea for organizing our full Asana.”
The Asana setup guide created by Ebony and Sherry in OpsReady supported our team in creating a functional space for miscellaneous business development tasks. They asked excellent questions that made us confident they understood our needs, and this was confirmed when we received our detailed guide with video.
The attention to detail was excellent. Using their instructions, we quickly set up our Asana project and began adding tasks. This space has brought much-needed organization to a long list of random tasks. The OpsReady trainees were such a pleasure to work with.

"One meeting was all it took for the team to create incredible resources I can use to get organized in 90 days."
When I saw the opportunity to participate in the OpsReady beta experience, I signed up right away. I knew my business operations needed organization, but I didn’t know where to start. It began with a breakout session with an amazing ops team who loved the brand and had a genuine interest in supporting it.
The session helped us connect and discuss my immediate needs as a solo founder. One meeting was all it took for the team to create incredible resources I can use to get organized in 90 days. My favorite resource was the 90-Day Action Plan that outlines everything I need to focus on to organize my business before the end of the fiscal year. It’s exactly what I needed. Thank you, Digital Jane, for this opportunity!
