Visualize the IT Operating Model

Demonstrate how IT continuously enables value for the organization.

The Situation

An IT operating model visualization is needed for every organization to:

Clearly outline the flow of operations and how different functional areas will work together.
Define which capabilities are a priority for the organization and how each capability will be sourced.
Identify key stakeholders, how they are engaged, and how they obtain value from IT.

Visualize the IT Operating Model visualization

Don’t struggle to define and visualize the IT operating model.

Use the centralized-to-embedded scale to select the right operating model archetype.
Define the critical elements of your operating model from capabilities to stakeholder engagement to decision rights and even value streams.
Consider opportunities to enhance or improve how the IT organization categorizes and defines different critical groupings like services or products.

Comment to the number of days saved: This is based on how many additional man days would have been needed if the team should worked on the operating model without your tools and advice. Comment to the estimated financial impact: Based on what it would have cost (wages) without your tools and advice. Best part of experience: Excellent facilitator who challenged us and took us through a very structured process leading to a fully aligned result in the group. Great to be able to have it onsite rather than having (some) participants joining virtually. Worst part of experience: Some participants could attend 100%. Too few breaks. Rather have a couple more really short breaks.

The best parts were the facilitation style and expertise from Areez. I'm not sure how he managed to remain so patient and keep us on track and the examples he was able to give us helped to bring the theory to life. The worst part was perhaps the nature of the workshop, requiring us to sit for long periods but it's a really minor thing and doesn't affect the value we all got from this workshop.
