Organization and Operating Model

Our Organization and Operating Model practice partners with organizations to build institutional structures that drive performance and enable strategic execution. We address questions of organizational design, governance frameworks, decision-making architecture, and operational process optimization. Our work is characterized by analytical precision and a focus on creating enduring organizational capability rather than transient structural change.

OUR APPROACH

Structure in Service of Strategy

We ensure that organizational architecture enables strategic objectives rather than constrains them. Our counsel aligns structural design, governance frameworks, and operating models with competitive imperatives, ensuring that institutional form facilitates the execution of strategic priorities.

Diagnostic Rigor and Empirical Foundation

We ground our recommendations in rigorous diagnostic work, empirical analysis of performance patterns, and clear assessment of institutional capability, cultural reality, and leadership capacity. Our counsel reflects evidence and disciplined inquiry, not convention or consensus.

Commitment to Enduring Outcomes

Our responsibility extends beyond the delivery of recommendations. We advise on the organizational and leadership requirements necessary for successful transition and measure success by sustained performance improvement rather than structural redesign alone.

OUR WORK

Organizational Architecture and Design

We advise on enterprise structure, reporting relationships, span of control, and the configuration of organizational units to enable strategic execution and institutional accountability.

Operating Model Configuration

We provide counsel on operating model design, the allocation of functional responsibilities, process architecture, and the mechanisms governing workflow and coordination across the organization.

Governance Frameworks and Decision Authority

We advise on governance structures, decision rights allocation, accountability frameworks, and the institutional processes that govern resource deployment and strategic choices at the enterprise level.

Leadership Structure and Succession

We counsel clients on leadership architecture, succession planning, executive team composition, and the organizational requirements for leadership continuity and institutional stability.

Operating Model Configuration

We advise on the strategic and governance dimensions of large-scale organizational change, including sequencing, stakeholder management, and the institutional requirements for successful structural transition.

The Execution Velocity Paradox

Coming Quarter 01 2026

In collaboration with Vikas Jain, Chief Digital Officer at PACCAR Inc., we examine the structural and operational impediments that constrain digital transformation in industrial enterprises: entrenched operating models, cross-functional coordination failures, and governance rigidity. We provide recommendations for building the institutional capabilities and adaptive governance required for successful execution.
