Operating Model Design

Create adaptive structures, processes, and capabilities that enable efficient execution across transformation phases

Operating Model Design

Many organisations struggle with operating models that were designed for a different era, unable to support their strategic ambitions or adapt to changing market conditions. Traditional operating models often become barriers to transformation rather than enablers, creating complexity without delivering value and constraining the organisation’s ability to execute effectively.

At StratEx Partners, our Operating Model Design service creates adaptive organisational structures that evolve with your transformation journey. We design models that balance efficiency with agility, ensuring your organisation can execute strategy effectively while building the capabilities needed for sustained competitive advantage.
