Operating Model Optimisation

Designing & Building Sustainable Structures

We realised that what had made us successful in the past as a smaller business, was not working in the present.  Having guided support to restructure our operating model helped us to uncover inefficiencies, see and mitigate risks for growing our business that we were completely unaware of”

Why is this Important?

Operating model optimisation is integral to creating resilient organisations. It enables the seamless integration of resources, processes, and structures, fostering environments that adapt to change while maintaining alignment with strategic goals. By optimising their operating models, organisations build robust foundations that support efficiency, innovation, and consistent collective success.

 Today’s Environment

In the current business landscape, organisations often face a misalignment between their operating model and strategic objectives. Some may have outgrown their original structures or failed to adapt their models to changing market conditions. This misalignment can lead to inefficiencies, silo-based mentalities, and high operational costs. To fully leverage their potential, organisations are continuously called to refine and optimise their operating models to stay efficient, effective, and competitive.

How We Help

We partner with organisations to co-create operating models that align with their strategic vision while enabling flexibility and adaptability. Our approach integrates resources, processes, and cultural dynamics to design sustainable structures that foster efficiency and collective engagement. Together, we co-create structures that empower organisations to navigate complexities, achieve their objectives, and realise their future aspirational goals.

 Our Approaches

We review existing structures and identify areas for improvement by leveraging insight diagnostics. Through facilitated co-design sessions, we guide leadership teams in refining their operating models, co-creating designs for integrated operating models that address inefficiencies while aligning with strategic and operational objectives. Our support extends to implementation, providing tools, resources, and facilitation to embed sustainable practices across the organisation.

By fostering shared ownership and mutual collaboration, we enable organisations to continuously thrive in dynamic contexts. The result is collectively owned, resilient, and aligned operating models that support short-term requirements while facilitating long-term success.
