End State: Five steps to success for complex organizations
1. End State
1Hit a key to go to the next slide.
A reference model for organizations
to make leading simpler, integrate daily operations, and
provide efficient governance, especially across spans and gaps.
How the world works. And when it won’t except through strong, principled leadership.
2. A Eureka Moment - How the world works. But first…
Which situation reminds you most of your life at work today?
• Follow-up is failing.
• Experts are arguing.
• Compliance is cumbersome.
• Waste is hurting – including off-agenda meetings and units.
• Silos are battling – including who has authority over what.
2Hit any key for next slide when ready.
Why do you think that is?
5. Theme
Success happens when you lead frontally and manage from the center.

A
Introduction
Basis of the First Premise
Whenever you’re closely connected to what’s best you succeed and live well.
Wherever you’re disconnected or lost you tend to fail and be forgotten.
6. The First Premise
An organization falls apart wherever interconnections fail.
• Interconnections are intrinsic.
• The reference model defines requirements for each interconnection.
• It includes essential functions and the processes that flow through them.
• It can get complicated;
never fear – we’re here together.

Introduction
See a summary of the model
pictured here on Slide 43
7. Apply best practices of a baseline management system
so that:
The system dynamically aligns layers of operations to strategic objectives.
It also enlightens leadership, empowers management, overcomes pain points and
leverages balanced teams through orchestration of processes and automation of workflow.

9. What’s the point? Principles and doctrine applied in context
Success and failure are predictable.
• Failure can be avoided by applying best practices within a stable reference model.
• Success will be assured by operating under its principles.
• The first step is to find the worst broken connections within your system of systems.

37. Do your project managers ever insist that their schedule
supersedes all and therefore interferes with operations?
They may be right.
So reconcile schedules above their level, then adjust project baselines or fail.
It’s what ITIL calls Transition Planning and Support.
It can be part of a Service Management Office.
It includes integrated scheduling.
