From firefighting to forward planning: a practical route to operational innovation

Jun 22, 2026 By Lee Fredricks, EMEA Solutions Consulting Director & Field CTO In PagerDuty
Operational innovation is often treated as a back-office efficiency exercise, but in practice, it is becoming a strategic discipline.

Not the Spike we actually had, but the Spike I wanted, the one I had been carrying around in my head for a long time without ever really putting it down anywhere.
