Course outline

The enormous pressure stemming from technological changes and increased competitiveness is forcing companies in many industries to streamline their processes, make their structures as lean as possible, cut all unnecessary costs, and squeeze out the maximum profit margins. All of this needs to be done in the most efficient manner possible, while navigating companies on their trajectory of digital transformation. This sort of task is as hard and complex as it gets.

The practice behind development and implementation of target operating models within the ever-changing environment is based on understanding the relations between capabilities, value streams, underlying technology, organization structure, and human practices within a company. The discipline of Business Architecture provides the roadmap and tools necessary for mastering this task. Using the Business Architecture will surely help executives and managers to pave the path toward the success in transforming operations in a holistic manner.

This course focuses on the development of a target operating model within a transformational environment, looking at how organizations can successfully manage the transition from an existing way of working to a new operating model. The course builds on the business architecture methods taught in our popular Practical Application of Business Architecture course, diving deeper into the execution of an operating model transformation initiative.
