The solution

In a first phase, a new target operating model (TOM) concept was developed. Building on initial concepts of the client, the new organizational structure and underlying core governance principles were designed in an iterative approach, combining results from in-depth analysis such as stakeholder interviews, organizational and financial baselining, and benchmarking.


Following its sign-off, the TOM concept was further detailed with strong involvement of future key players. In a series of sprint meetings, the future organizational structure, roles, responsibilities, activities, and governance were elaborated comprehensively.

This joint approach not only facilitated an efficient way of working but also increased acceptance across the organization. In parallel to designing the TOM, a financial target was quantified and verified bottom-up with concrete measures.

 

After finalization and documentation of the new TOM, we supported in implementation planning to ensure a smooth yet successful transition.
