How the Right Operating Model Can Fix a Strategy That Falls Short
This conversation 👇 echoes our thoughts how the business model should implement the business strategy:
💡 “Different strategies require different operating models.” ➡️ Yes, “structure follows strategy”!
💡 “Organizations intentionally have a design.” ➡️ If they are not intentionally designed, they usually have a poor organization design.
💡 “The first step in an operating model transformation is to define a common language for talking about these design elements.” ➡️ Exactly, and that’s why we developed the Data & AI Business Design method and the TOP (Technology, Organization, People) framework!
💡 “One of the common frustrations I’ve seen, over the many years I’ve been designing organizations, is that people often make change without a rock-solid business case.” – We have a solution for this too: use our Business Model/Case Canvas.

There is also a project template for aligning the operating model with the business strategy in our Data & AI Business Design Bench: Data & AI StratOps for Innovation and Transformation.
First, the team uses the Strategy Pyramid Canvas to define the objectives and direction, and then they design the target operating model necessary for implementation using the Business Model/Case Canvas. To implement this in StratOps style, there are weekly action sprints (with Kanban) and monthly ambition (with OKR) and reflection (with retrospectives) workshops.
