If you are a Senior Executive looking to transform your Operations, to deliver significant efficiencies & cost reductions and are struggling with your Change Programme, then this document is for you.

Operational Change Programmes are tough, especially if they don’t have a firm foundation

Are your seeing these problems:

○ A Target Operating Model which is unclear or flawed?

○ Escalating costs & uncertainty around claimed benefits?

○ Confusion over delivery priorities?

○ Change takes too long and lacks organisational

alignment?

○ Limited buy-in from your peers and their senior teams?

○ A lack of programme delivery experience or capability in

your leadership team?

Has this lead to:

○ The CEO & Exec Committee wanting to know when your

programme will deliver?

○ Your change programme being exposed or at threat of

cancellation?

○ Delivery teams who constantly re-plan, but then don’t

hold to the dates?

○ Endless reviews as to why you are where you are, but no

solutions?

Instead of reacting to events, be on the front foot

How would it be if your programme lead the way with:

○ A clear Target Operating Model with delivery costs?

○ A set of high level design blueprints that drive planning?

○ Streamlined reporting & governance structures?

○ Multi disciplined, performing delivery teams that engage with colleagues across the organisation?

Design your Organisation to Deliver your Strategy & Benefits

○ Don’t just fix how things are, significantly improve your position

○ Re-Engineer your end to end Operating Model

○ Use the Future State Design as a Blueprint and Roadmap for Strategic Change

○ Be certain about the Benefits to be delivered

○ Use your design to drive your integrated Transformation agenda

○ Keep changes aligned as they are developed and implemented

○ Build a team to govern Strategy, Operating Model Design and Delivery

What my clients say…..

Iain was the lead Architect on a large retail integration programme and developed the Business Operating Model for an organisation with a pre-integration turnover in excess of £4bn pa and 40,000 employees. The BOM covered all aspects of the business and allowed the integration to proceed seamlessly based on a common future state design. A job very well done.COO - Consulting Company

Having worked with Iain on two occasions I have found his ability to both grasp the big picture and focus on the appropriate attention to detail excellent. Furthermore, he has a knack of taking the most complex of situations and distilling it into a form readily digestible by all across the organisation and identifying the critical activities to make a material difference. Head of Business Change – Retailer

I have known and worked with Iain for many years. In every project I have had the fortune to work with him, I found Iain to always meet and exceed expectations. He comes up with innovative ideas embracing the whole vista of change but is also able to see these ideas through to reality. I have no hesitation in recommending Iain to manage major change programmes to senior managers and executives. Executive Partner – Global Tech Organisation

Iain made himself integral to the project very quickly and ensured a calm response when it became challenging against deadlines. Iain also worked with other senior managers to ensure that the project did not sit in isolation in the company. Ideas and working practices migrated from the project to other appropriate areas of the business. We could not have asked for a higher level of commitment. CEO - Financial Services Organisation

Iain is a very experienced, dedicated and influential consultant project & programme manager. He is highly motivated towards delivering value to his clients and excels in politically complex environments. Iain's motivational and interpersonal skills make him an invaluable asset and I have no hesitation in recommending him to any future clients. Global IT Director Digital Tech Company
