DEMYSTIFYING OPERATING MODELS: ALIGNING STRATEGY AND EXECUTION
There is often confusion about what is an operating model, some think it is just an org chart, missing the opportunity to understand and design operations that truly deliver value. A well-designed operating model bridges strategy and execution, enabling your organisation to adapt to economic constraints, climate change impacts, and shifting public expectations, while delivering sustained value and impact.
What we’ll cover:
- The three levels of operating model design: conceptual, logical, and physical
- How to identify the drivers for operating model change in your organisation
- How operating model design can align resources, processes, and culture to maximise impact
- Real-world examples of operating model success from across the public and private sectors
This webinar is valuable for executives, managers, and change leaders in government agencies, NGOs, and private sector organisations.
