Organisation Design

Organisation Design
Projects, programmes and portfolios do not sit in isolation. They are delivered as part of a wider parent organisation.
The question then is - have we optimised our organisation to provide the maximum chances of success? Do we know what our operating model should look like?
Target Operating Model Design
A target operating model (TOM) tells us how the organisation should function.
Designing a target operating model is complex, because the starting point - how the organisation currently functions - is rarely understood. There may be a substantial variance between what is written down in the Quality Management System, and how the organisation actually functions. Bridging these gaps entails a learning phase that must be reflected in the TOM plan.
Target Operating Model Realisation
A target operating model transition plan guides us on how to achieve that new state. Embedding the change takes time, and is not to be under-estimated. As a rule of thumb embedding the change can take double to triple the time it takes to design and implement the change - getting this duration down is crucial to lowering the cost and improving the chancess of success.
