Organizational Design and Operating Model

This is how you make your strategy happen

Organizational Design and Operating Model

Effective organizational design can turn your people and teams into an unbeatable source of competitive advantage.

Yet only 20% of executives believe that this gives them an edge. Companies with modern operating models execute and innovate simultaneously. They reap benefits of scale to build deep customer connections, make decisions quickly, and help employees focus on work that truly matters. When the pieces of your operating model come together, your company becomes more adaptable, even in times of disruption. Your operating model is how you make your strategy happen. Discover the critical role it plays, and how you can adopt the one that's right for you.

Your Operating Model: Six Essential Areas of Focus

1. Leadership and Culture

Establish a leadership team that works together effectively and models the desired behaviors. Develop a culture that makes it easy and rewarding for your people to do the right thing.

2. Management Systems

Move away from rigid annual cycles and one-size-fits-all business reviews and instead implement more dynamic resource allocation and distinct operation and innovation dialogues that are focused on outcomes.

3. Structure, Teams, and Accountabilities

Align your business boundaries with customer and market value, reduce the distance between leadership and the front line, clarify decision-making roles, and drive enterprise-wide priorities with dedicated, multi-disciplinary teams.

4. Talent Engine

Create a multi-year roadmap for workforce evolution. Focus your top talent on your most important priorities while offering a compelling value proposition to your people.

5. Business Processes

Enable processes to leverage automation and eliminate unnecessary handoffs when delivering customer solutions. Ensure that support functions help accelerate innovation.

6. Technology and Data

Understand your current and future technology and data needs and integrate them seamlessly with the human aspects of your operating model to boost performance and build organizational capabilities.
