An Operating Model fundamentally needs to enable a company’s business model, strategy and business success. A defined and transparent Target Operating Model (TOM) also provides an important frame and essential design guardrails for any digital transformation. To increase transformation value and the success of your digital journey, a conscious review of your current operating model should be considered in early stages to either confirm it’s fit-for-future or identify areas of needed or wanted adjustment. Given the invest and effort a company commits to its digital transformation, you have to ensure that a well-defined and future-ready Target Operating Model builds the fundament for your transformation activities.
Target Operating Model

The Strategy provides important business context for the TOM. Confirmation or change in one or multiple TOM dimensions always needs to be considered in relation to the other dimensions to avoid sub-optimal solutions or even conflicting set-ups.
