Technology & Operating Model Reset
Redesign decision rights, structure and ways of working so the technology function matches business need.
Problem this solves
IT structure, roles, decision rights and ways of working no longer match the needs of the business. The function cannot support current or planned change.
What it is
The programme diagnoses the current operating model and absorption capacity, designs the target operating model and decision rights, defines the transition approach and supports embedding. Success is measured by what changes in practice, not by documentation volume.
Key activities
- Diagnostic of current operating model and absorption capacity
- Design target operating model, decision rights and organisation
- Define transition approach and governance
- Support embedding and early operation
Outcomes
A technology function whose structure, decision rights and ways of working match the business it serves.
Deliverables
- Current-state and target operating model
- Decision-rights and organisation design
- Transition plan and governance
- Advisory support through early implementation
Boundary
Progressive Grounds designs and advises; the client owns implementation resourcing and line management decisions.
What typically follows
Often follows Strategic IT Review & Roadmap. May run alongside or after rationalisation. Can lead to Fractional CIO.
Scope and investment
Base effort covers discovery, design and handover. Per-month effort covers embedding and calibration. Confirmed at Phase 1.
