Overview

Covid 19 accelerated the need for business transformation in many industries, and further turbulence in the macro-environment with conflict in Ukraine, rising fuel and commodity prices and rapid technological change means there is no let up in the VUCA environment . As organizations have to rapidly adapt strategies so too operating models, which are at the heart of delivery are having to quickly evolve.

During this short taster session with the program director Brian Worsfold, Professor of Practice in Strategy and Innovation, we introduced the operating model canvas which is at the heart of the program and explain to participants how the framework is used to help organizations seeking to transform their businesses.

The program itself is targeted at managers involved in improving and transforming their operations, particularly where their work involves translating business or functional strategies into operating choices. The program is also suitable for consultants looking to develop their capability to support clients in this area.
