Operating model design

An operating model is the org chart, the process, the platform, and the metric — designed as one thing. We engineer that one thing.

Operating model design
What we actually do

The work, on one page.

Target operating model

A picture of the future business that engineers, partners, and the board all read the same way.

Squad and team topology

The teams, the platforms they own, the cognitive load they can carry — based on Team Topologies, sized for your scale.

Process redesign

Where AI agents run, where humans review, and where the work simply stops happening because it shouldn't.

Metric architecture

The handful of leading indicators that tell you the model is working before the lagging financials confirm it.

Receipts, not narratives

Recent work.

Health

Care teams, redrawn.

Restructured a national provider's care teams around the patient journey — clinicians got hours back, patients got fewer handoffs.

Insurance

Underwriting at speed.

A new operating model for specialty underwriting, where the agent does the assembly and the underwriter does the judgment.

Common questions

The honest version.

Do you design the org chart, or do we?+

We design it together. The chart is yours; we bring the patterns, the trade-offs, and the proof of what works at your scale.

What about the change management?+

It's part of the engagement, not an add-on. Talent & Change partners sit on every operating-model program we run.
