Target Operating Model
Target Operating Model
The success of new or adapted business models is only established when they are implemented. The key to this success is consistency starting from conceptual design to operational implementation. This means that sustainable effects will only be achieved on the market if employees, processes, partners and systems are appropriately coordinated and ready to operate new digital solutions. The Target Operation Model (TOM) is the optimal tool for this and ensures your organization's readiness for digital products or services.
Along that path, the TOM shows how the organization and capabilities must be built up in the future to operate business models in a structured manner. If existing business models are innovated, it also reveals the need for change with regard to partners, technologies and the company's ecosystem (e.g. the supply chain). This clarity helps to heighten understanding, especially between business and IT areas, as well as identify potentials and synergies. By considering the operation of digital solutions from the very beginning of the conception phase, you can secure planned EBIT early on and avoid typical obstacles to implementation.
A Target Operating Model answers the following core questions:
In the future, how should the organization, skills and processes be structured in order to sell and operate digital solutions?
What does the transformation of my portfolio from products to services or software mean for my IT, qualification and partner ecosystem?
What prerequisites do I need to create internally so that the results of my (digital) projects can be seamlessly integrated into the processes and mindset of my teams?
