Struggling to translate your strategic vision into day-to-day operational reality? You're not alone. Many B2B executives face this frustrating gap between brilliant plans and actual results. The culprit? Often it's an outdated or misaligned operating model.
This episode unpacks the critical role your operating model plays as the engine that powers strategic execution. More than just an org chart, your operating model encompasses your entire value delivery system – organisational structure, core processes, governance frameworks, capabilities, roles, metrics, and supporting technology. When these components work in harmony, execution follows naturally. When they fall out of alignment, even the best strategies falter.
We dive deep into Arkaro's unique "do-it-with-you" methodology for operating model revitalisation. Their four-stage approach – understand, co-create, enable, and sustain – combines technical excellence with meaningful people engagement. Rather than simply delivering recommendations, they work alongside your team to build lasting internal capabilities. This collaborative approach ensures changes stick long after the consultants leave, creating sustainable business transformation.
The episode explores how this methodology applies to critical operating model elements like strategy validation, customer linkage, operational processes, and integrated planning. Each area delivers specific business benefits: coherence between strategy and operations, better alignment with market needs, process optimisation, and breaking down functional silos. The result? More efficient operations, better customer relationships, faster deal closures, and improved business performance across all metrics.
Whether you're grappling with fragmented processes, siloed functions, sustainability challenges, or struggling to align execution with strategy, revitalising your operating model could be the key to unlocking your organisation's full potential.
