COO to COO

“In MedTech, operations aren’t just about keeping the lights on — they’re about protecting enterprise value. Every supply chain delay, quality slip, or process bottleneck can erode margins and investor confidence.”

From scaling manufacturing capacity to navigating regulatory complexity, today’s COOs are balancing cost efficiency with flawless execution.

At NextAccel, we help COOs turn operational challenges into growth levers — aligning processes, technology, and teams to deliver measurable valuation gains.

Your fastest path to higher enterprise value.

A forward-thinking COO agenda has never been more critical. Our COO insights give you the operational clarity to anticipate challenges, optimize execution, and protect enterprise value — even in volatile markets.

According to McKinsey, companies with top-quartile operational resilience outperform peers by over 30% in total shareholder return during market disruptions. In MedTech, where supply chain risks, regulatory demands, and cost-to-serve pressures collide, the COO’s ability to adapt at speed is a decisive competitive advantage.

Based on our work with COOs across industries and hundreds of operational transformation programs, we’ve identified the foundations of a resilient, value-creating COO agenda.

COO Data Point

From bottlenecks to enterprise value gains.

In the past five quarters, top-performing COOs reduced lead times by 14% and increased asset utilization by 11%, driving a net 8–11% boost in enterprise value. Meanwhile, lagging operators saw valuation drag from missed efficiency targets.

COO Data Point distills operational complexity into the few levers that move enterprise value — supply chain agility, asset productivity, and execution speed. Built from McKinsey’s COO-level research, it shows exactly what your peers track to win board confidence and outperform in volatile markets.

Data Sources:

McKinsey Global Operations Survey (2024), PwC COO Pulse Report (2025) — both show a direct link between operational efficiency gains and enterprise value resilience.
