All too often, Target Operating Models (we prefer to just call them Operating Models) are typically developed in one of two ways:
- At such a High-Level that they become wall art, rather than something deliverable or,
- So overly-detailed that they are just not usable.
Given our experience of implementing multiple Operating Models, we have developed our proprietary model, OM8x3. This proven design ensures that the Operating Model is practical, deliverable and can be in business as usual as a consistent point of reference.
What makes Avocado55 different?
Our OM8x3 approach allows us to collaboratively design the operation model that best suits your organisation. It will create a blueprint for your future growth and a tool to help simplify strategic decisions.
We will help you through each stage of the process:
- Defined strategy – Clear plan to navigate the future changes in the industry, maximising technology and strengthening core capabilities.
- EDICTS– Develop the core principles that match your values and will form the basis of how you will implement your strategy.
- Principles – Create the structure for how you want each of the key 8 areas of your operations to function.
- Models – Focusing on a range of visual models that brings a common understanding across your teams and helps show the direction of travel for the months ahead.
