Tips for designing target operating model, business architecture and processes.

www.ashridge.or.... This lecture tutorial on operating models, business process design and business architecture takes the best tips from the course Designing Operating Models. The two day course runs at Ashridge Business School, near London. It is Europe's top course on this critical competence. See also Twitter @operatingmodels.

An operating model addresses issues like process hierarchy, core process design and equipment needs, information systems, property and location choices, organisation structure and degree of outsourcing. It is the how of business strategy and is often given insufficient attention as a design challenge. In other words it just evolves.

Clearly described without jargon. I like the holistic approach.

Good advice for those considering re-designing the operating model. Particularly like the idea of levels of design and gradual approximation from design principles to operating model and blueprint.

It's clear in the modern business world technology is fast becoming the master and driver of successful change. Understanding where it is going and it's possibilities must help to keep your nose ahead of the masses.

Excellent. Great job. But can it be applicable in the VACA world.?

[@dketley]

Not that useful for me personally.
