Why the Operating Model Decides Outcomes

Most transformation programs underinvest in operating model and change adoption, treating them as soft skills bolted to the technology track. Mature programs treat operating model and change as deliverables with their own governance, KPIs, and budget. We design target operating models, run capability uplift programs, and manage change adoption from week one.
