Operating Model Design in a Digital WorldRobert Cade
Operating Models have defined the way that we work and operate for centuries. A good set of architectural blueprints are essential to successfully build a new office. The same is true if you want to build a successful business; you need a good set of blueprints on which to lay the foundations and undertake the detailed design and implementation. In other words you need an Operating Model.
Like modern office designs, businesses are responding to digital stimuli and the changing needs of their customers. Digital is taking the world by storm, transforming everything in its path. Those who transform reap the benefits; those that don’t get left behind. So, just as the blueprints for offices have changed in the digital age, the blueprints for businesses – their Operating Models – also need to evolve.

As businesses continue through this evolution, IT begins to recognize increasingly significant benefits. In terms of value, the focus on management and automation yields a reduction of operating expenses, as automation of manual tasks enables the IT organization to operate more efficiently.
No matter how fast business moves, there’s no substitute for a smart, carefully crafted IT plan that is aligned with your business strategy. At SQLSaturday Baton Rouge, Sparkhound Principal Consultant Tim Goedeke discussed his experiences as a fractional CIO, challenged with helping IT fulfill its role as a strategic business partner for speed to market, product / service differentiation and superior end-user experience delivery. Are you ready to eliminate perceptions of IT as a cost center, and paint the vision of IT as a business driver?
Your Challenge
Infrastructure, by focusing on the reliability, availability, and serviceability of existing platforms, is perceived as a cost center rather than a business enabler.
Business stakeholders look to external vendors, rather than Infrastructure, to exploit emerging technologies. This leads to duplication of effort, inconsistent standards, and ineffective IT governance.
Infrastructure directors are unable to draw a line showing how their activities directly support the overall business goals.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Think of the roadmap as a service, not a product. Its value is inversely proportional to the time since its last update.
Alignment perception issues can be addressed by having the infrastructure practice formally engage and communicate with business stakeholders.
Shadow IT can provide business-ready initiatives that need only to be tweaked to align with Infrastructure’s internal goals.
Impact and Result
This blueprint will help you build:
A formal channel and way of communicating value bottom-up and top-down between IT and the executive team.
A methodology to prioritize and create projects that generate business value.
A tool that can produce multiple outputs of value for different audiences using the same data.
An ongoing roadmap process, rather than a static document, that is able to adjust and react to evolving business circumstances.

THE IMPERATIVE FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
3. Esplendor Group Confidential
THE IMPERATIVE FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Digital transformation addresses the profound transformation of the activities of the business, processes, organization, and IT and
technology, to fully leverage the changes and opportunities of a mix of digital technologies and their accelerating impact on business
strategic direction.
• Digital Transformation is one of only a few high priorities facing organizations across all industries, and the market size for business
and digital transformation is a multi-hundred billion market
• The digital era has brought new challenge to organization such as more aggressive competition, demanding customer expectations,
significantly shortened idea to market cycle time, and transition from a product-based model to one of servitization and customer
centricity. This leaves organizations with little choice but to successfully embrace and execute digital transformation
• C-level executives have an unprecedented challenge for full visibility and coordination across the business and IT, with encompassing
business strategy and business model, products, services, resources, locations, applications, projects, etc., hence greater o versight into
work and improved accuracy and currency of insight
• According to McKinsey most organizations experience much greater complexity in their digital transformation journey leading to even
opposite effects such as being slower to market or less capable of responding quickly to the changing customer demands
• It is therefore imperative for organizations to devise well-founded digital transformation roadmaps that can be simplified enough to
be uniformly understood and embraced across various parts of the organization that often have different backgrounds and approaches,
and fully optimized and aligned with Business Strategy & Goals, KPI’s, Values, Customer Experience, as well as Enterprise IT &
Technology landscape
• This makes a strong case for an outcome-based EA-driven approach to to manage the complexity associated with digital
transformation to ensure that change & transformation Programs are also harmonized and optimized across Business and IT
4. Esplendor Group Confidential
KEY CHALLENGES TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS
Follow a method and approach to Digital Transformation
that actually works and can be executed.
Most Digital Transformation initiatives have failed to
produce the promised results and benefits due to
organizational complexities and difficulties to ensure that
transformation planning is based on real understanding of
current landscape and future ambitions, and to define a
practical and doable transformation roadmap towards the
target state. Methodologies used for digital transformation
are often academic and not practical, let alone proven.
Many System Integrators (SI’s) use approaches that are
tedious, complex to understand, and highly expensive.
Many organizations find this out the hard way, after very
comprehensive and highly costly initiatives not only fail to
live up to the great promises made, but may also lead to
further complications warranting corrective measures to
untangle the new complexities.
It is most critically important to rely on an approach to
digital transformation that leverages true harmonized and
enterprise-architecture driven transformation, but is
expressed in “Business/Humanized” language that is more
intuitive and can be understood and embraced uniformly
across the organization, and across the business and IT.
1. Consolidate complex interrelationships and dependencies
between entities despite different roles and mindsets.
This requires an unprecedented level of oversight, control,
and coordination not only within each separate entity, but
across a wide range of organizational entities that often
operate in slio’s (e.g. Business Strategy or Operations, IT
Operations, PMO and EA).
Same uniform language and similar methodology and
terminology, and same oversight and interpretation of
enterprise insight and data with same semantics in
approach is needed to avoid organizational misalignment.
2.
5. Esplendor Group Confidential
KEY CHALLENGES TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS
Keep people on the same page across the organization
with uniform data and interpretation of it.
Not only do organizations need uniform approach and
terminology and coordination across organizational
entities, but also tools that can be aligned with the
uniform enterprise-wide approach.
Static desktop-tools like Excel and Word are entirely
inadequate for reliable oversight and decision making.
Tools must follow the same “Enterprise Architecture
reference model” used across the organization and be
suited to accommodate digital enterprise architecture
and transformation methodologies.
They also need to be digitized and remain up to date
with reliable and on-demand available data as a single
version of truth to enable effective collaboration to
make faster and more effective decisions, achieve
growth targets, adapt more deftly to changing
conditions, and better plan for the future.
3. Accurately measure progress of digital
transformation and the benefits delivered.
Keeping the right information and real-time analytics
at your fingertips will enable you to most effectively
measure progress. The right solution here again is a
strategic dashboard or “Command & Control
Center”, which should be accessible across the
organization.
Decision makers need access to a strategic
dashboard that gives them full visibility and control
over the digital transformation landscape, to
measure changes through real-time visibility into
performance, financials, and investments from across
the business and IT.
Moreover, this will reduce the risk of failure, improve
the ability to meet growth targets and to quickly
make trade-off decisions when necessary based on
priorities or constraints.

8. ACCELERATE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Esplendor Group Confidential
• Improve the predictability of change via Impact simulations, what if
analytics and trade-off analysis, and evolve the architecture to create and
test alternative future states before committing to implementing one
• Move away from spreadsheet based enablers and assets with a
centralized tool based approach that standardizes how we store & access
knowledge hence available for reuse, and remains current as single version
of truth, unlike e.g. in Word, Excel, Visio, etc., where data can be outdated,
cumbersome to access, and unreliable especially for strategic decisions such
as cost saving
• Improve staff efficiency Reduce the average resource cost per
engagement by optimally leveraging business or IT or onsite or offshore
teams by following a uniform framework and methodology, tooling and
collaboration with interdependencies and interactions being clear in detail,
to improve the enablement and upskilling of staff, including new or junior
staff to accelerate and improve their contribution
• Ability to generate business case from harmonized, reliable, and current
enterprise insight to pre-defined, or dynamically defined reporting relying
on the framework metamodel implemented in the tool, where true
Enterprise “Digital DNA” makes possible access to reports that bring the
exact insight and parameters that the business requires to justify decisions
such as budget allocation prioritization (We call this “EAQL”, i.e. Enterprise
Architecture Query Language”, that can query and report on all key EA
aspects
• Ensure business drives IT with fully traceable Business to IT
enablement – business and IT aligned with uniform framework
• Empower business with holistic oversight across the organization in a
dashboard – the dashboard serves as “Command & Control Center”
• Enable significant cost saving with 360-degree up-to-date enterprise
oversight – once enterprise 360-degree insight is baselined, there can be
immediate significant cost saving opportunities that require minimum
investment or effort, e.g. in application portfolio optimization
• Enable fact-based transformation & change planning that is rational
and not emotional - ability to define, harmonize, and manage change
initiatives optimally
• Simplified Business and IT landscape, with facilitated Enterprise
governance
• Maintain existing or newly developed assets and enablers in a central
asset repository tool that can be (re)used across the organizations
• Drive reuse for deliverables and assets based on a standardized
combination of reference models, offerings and architectural artefacts to

Offering
Accelerate a digital transformation journey with an intelligible and practical
approach that encompasses proven and best-practice digital transformation
methodology and tools as differentiating enabler and accelerator to harmonize
Business and IT and bring the control and oversight back to the business and
away from tedious methods and technology jargon, to achieve RESULTS.
Value
• Simplified: Our approach and framework help simplify the complex enterprise
landscape, and distil it into a simplified picture that enables stronger oversight,
control, and governance
• Humanazied Language: Our approach and framework are in “Business/Human
Language” and especially suited to executive decision makers who require
thorough oversight across the entire estate of Business and IT
• Business in driving seat: It puts the business back in the driving seat enabling it
to express and drive change based on intelligible business terms and language,
rather than IT and Technology driving (or decelerating) change in own language
and terminology and expecting business to understand, adjust, and follow
• Proven: The approach and framework have been developed by business and IT
industry thought leaders, and successfully implemented at leading organizations
with excellent reviews from the executive leadership with referenceable testimony
that strongly endorses it and confirms the “before and after” model above
• Before State: Making assessments and decisions by having to reach out to various
parts of the organization for crucial data and insight, which is captured in different
shapes or formats (PPT, Excel, written documents, opinions, etc.) rendering it often
unreliable and emotion based, or not up to date
• After State: Make assessments and decisions by going to an executive dashboard
on-demand, analyzing and assessing up to date and 360 degree enterprise insight
and data spanning across strategy, business, Technology & IT, organization and
change portfolio, enabling fact and RoI-based decision making, change and
transformation planning, and cost and effort harmonization & optimization
Typical business reasons to use our offering
• Digital Transformation efforts have stagnated or failed, need for an approach that
is intelligible to be uniformly understood by business and IT, and is practical,
value based, and not overly costly
• Enterprise Strategic Baselining requires reliable and current 360-degree
harmonized oversight across different entities in the organization across the
business and IT
• Cost Saving is high priority but can only be made possible with reliable and
current 360-degree harmonized oversight of all key data and parameters across
the organization
• Mergers & De-mergers are highly challenging especially when driven as “IT
initiatives”, and require like-for-like Business Strategy and Business Model
comparison and
Gap Analysis
• Enterprise Regulatory Audit / Compliance is highly challenging especially when
driven as “IT initiatives”, since compliance-related aspects are spread across many
diverse and different aspects hence difficult to identify and action, and focus is
required on compliance-related KPI’s, Processes, and the complex IT landscape
• Business Design, Customer Journey & Experience warrants incorporation of
cutting-edge business & technology innovation, and alignment with Business
Strategy and IT solutions
• Legacy Modernization warrant bimodal transformation – “Optimize the Now &
Future-proof the now”
• Portfolio Rationalization needs 360-degree oversight of applications and their true
“business value”
• Unified business-to-IT enterprise Target Operating Model (TOM) is difficult to
achieve with tired-and-failed tedious and costly methodologies, and can be made
possible with BLUEPRINT-AA
• IT, Enterprise, and Business Architecture Transformation & TOM is difficult to
achieve with tired-and-failed tedious and costly methodologies, and can be made
possible with BLUEPRINT-AA
