Overview
Today's business operations are often misguided because of misalignment between overall business strategy and operational strategy. A poorly defined operating model can add complexity and confusion about such elements as what to emphasize, cost, quality, service level, innovation and more. Your organization needs to address ongoing operational governance and avoid changes that are optimized for narrow objectives. Successful operations require examining processes, organizations, IT and other elements holistically for both performance and alignment, instead of concentrating on isolated areas.
