02 / Create the blueprint

Transformation &
operating model design.

Turn discovery into a blueprint the business can build, operate and own.

We align business outcomes, organizational responsibilities and technology choices—then define how change will be delivered, governed and measured.

One connected design: what changes, how it works and who owns the result.

Build from evidence

A strong design starts with an agreed foundation.

Use the validated function inventory, dependency map and rationalization decisions from discovery to define the future state. Resolve the gaps between what the business wants and what people, processes and systems can support.

Define the destination

Agree business outcomes, design principles, scope and constraints. Set measurable service, cost, risk and adoption targets against the current baseline.

Design how it works

Shape the target operating model and architecture together. Clarify service ownership, workflow handoffs, data responsibilities and control requirements.

Sequence the change

Compare options and trade-offs. Prioritize delivery around value, dependencies, capacity and business continuity, with explicit decision and acceptance gates.

The target operating model

Seven dimensions. One working capability.

A platform change affects the organization around it. Each dimension must support the same business outcomes, with ownership and interfaces designed together.

01 / Strategy

Purpose, customer needs, value proposition, priorities and success measures guide every design choice.

02 / Structure

Service boundaries, teams, reporting relationships and cross-functional accountability.

03 / Process

End-to-end workflows, handoffs, exceptions, controls and service expectations.

04 / People

Roles, skills, capacity, training, adoption and the support needed to perform.

05 / Data

Ownership, definitions, quality, lineage, access and lifecycle responsibilities.

06 / Technology

Platforms, integration, automation, resilience and supportability.

07 / Governance

Decision rights, approval forums, escalation routes, controls and performance review.

From design to delivery

A roadmap with decisions built in.

Each delivery wave has a defined outcome, accountable owner and evidence needed to proceed. Timing follows the scale and dependencies of the engagement.

A / ALIGN

Agree the design

Assess options, resolve trade-offs and confirm the target model, architecture and business case.

Design acceptanceBusiness, technology and control owners agree the scope, measures and responsibilities.

B / PROVE

Validate a delivery wave

Define a pilot or first wave, test critical assumptions and plan conversion, reconciliation and continuity controls.

Delivery readinessDependencies, resources, risks and acceptance criteria are understood and assigned.

C / SEQUENCE

Plan rollout and ownership

Set rollout dependencies, adoption activities and operational handover requirements for subsequent waves.

Controlled progressionLater waves depend on verified results and readiness, with risks explicitly reviewed.

Outcomes

A blueprint ready to govern the build.

Target operating model

Service model, workflows, responsibilities, decision rights and governance arrangements.

Future-state architecture

Capabilities, platforms, data flows, interfaces and required controls.

Transformation roadmap

Prioritized waves, dependencies, accountable owners, resource needs and decision gates.

Outcome and adoption plan

Baseline measures, benefit owners, acceptance criteria, training and transition requirements.

Ready to govern the build

Design accepted.
Delivery accountable.

Move into conversion planning and assurance when the in-scope blueprint, ownership, sequencing and acceptance criteria are agreed, with material risks and dependencies recorded. AI requirements can inform the design; full AI Enablement follows completion and acceptance of the foundational work across the first four phases.
