Tuesdays with Ivan

A leadership experience presented by People Ops Collective, and a working example of a custom in-house experience.

A practical three-part pathway for understanding aging, caregiving, workforce, leadership, and organizational health across generations.

The public program brings together a deliberately mixed group to explore what elders and the people who love them are experiencing, how those issues affect organizations and communities, and what needs to change.

It is also a live example of the method People Ops Collective can bring inside an organization.

The public program

1. Virtual Roundtable: Build the Foundation

Bring together HR and People leaders, employers, health and senior-care organizations, community leaders, service providers, associations, and people with relevant lived experience.

Surface the patterns, gaps, questions, and opportunities connected to aging, caregiving, work, health, purpose, leadership, and intergenerational life.

Output: a shared opportunity map and priority themes.

2. Virtual Workshop and Discussion: Develop the Opportunity

Use the strongest insights to focus on a defined challenge or opportunity. Clarify who is affected, what is missing, what needs to change, and what a useful response could look like.

Output: a clearer concept, practical next steps, success measures, and the capabilities needed.

3. Marketplace of Possibilities: Bring in the Ecosystem

Bring in adjacent, relevant businesses and organizations that can contribute expertise, services, technology, health and wellness resources, education, community access, sponsorship, implementation support, or partnerships.

Output: relevant connections, defined contributions, and a path toward action.

How the same model works in-house

For one organization, People Ops Collective would adapt the three stages around a defined business or workforce question, such as caregiver strain, succession, retention, retirement transition, intergenerational leadership, employee well-being, or organizational change.

1. Foundation: engage the organization’s leaders, employees, and relevant stakeholders to understand the lived experience and business impact.

2. Development: facilitate a focused workshop to define the root challenge, shape a practical response, and agree on how success will be measured.

3. Marketplace: bring in selected external businesses, experts, and organizations that can support implementation.

The in-house version produces a response shaped around that organization’s people, operating context, priorities, and measurable outcomes.

Tuesdays with Ivan is both a public conversation and a proof-of-concept: it shows how People Ops Collective moves from listening, to insight, to solution design, to the right ecosystem around the work.
