Defined intervention

Operating Model Reset

A practical reset of decision rights, ownership and governance.

Operating model view

Decision rights ? service ownership ? governance rhythm

When to use it

Decision rights, service ownership, governance and architecture involvement are unclear across operations, technology, data, risk and suppliers.

Defined scope

To confirm before publishing: fixed scope for operating-model clarification around decision rights, service ownership and governance rhythm.

What it addresses

Decisions, ownership, dependencies and governance conditions that are creating drag in the current transformation programme.

Questions it answers

Who can decide what? Where should service ownership sit? How should architecture engage early enough to be useful?

What happens during the intervention
