Operating Models
Businesses have understood the value of having a standard way of doing business since commerce began.
However, building a model of a business that can be used to leverage experience in a meaningful way is rare. Very few business understand the true value of encoding, and maintaining their own model and how to fully leverage it. An operating model must describe the key elements of what a business does, how it does it and how its success is measured in a consistent and integrated way that is accessible to all employees to be valuable.
Digital Integrated Operating Models
Creating a baseline Operating Model can drive out significant waste while creating a platform for ongoing improvements. However, as a company develops complexity in its structure, markets or organization the value of an Operating Model increases as more integration is required. Processes must be traceable from a macro to detailed level, showing how they cross organizational boundaries and how these interfaces are manifested into employee responsibilities. Fully integrated like this and digitally enabled, a business' underlying structure will be visible to everybody across the enterprise, freeing individuals to understand and improve the business without constraint. This integration between what and how things are done, who is responsible and how success is measured goes a long way towards defining a company's DNA and culture.
An Innovative and Unique Approach
We look to the natural world to understand how highly complex systems operate, allowing us to build models from the cellular level to create operating models for businesses. When we integrate these models into all other business practices, we deliver a Company Business Engine that allows businesses to monitor and optimize performance and to envision, test, and seamlessly implement strategic change with minimal disruption and maximum impact.
