Designing the Future State Through a Target Operating Model (TOM)
Are you looking to define a clear future-state operating model for your organization or your M&A project? Do you want to ensure that transformation initiatives and investment decisions are fully aligned with strategic objectives? A well defined Target Operating Model (TOM) provides the blueprint for achieving this alignment. This session offers an overview of how to design a TOM that clearly articulates the intended end state of the organization and translates strategy into actionable design choices specially for M&A projects to ensure the maximum value realized out of the transaction.
What Is a Target Operating Model (TOM)?
A Target Operating Model defines how an organisation should operate in the future to deliver its strategy effectively. It describes the desired end state across four core dimensions: organisational structure and roles, end-to-end processes, enabling technologies, and information and communication flows. A robust TOM clarifies decision rights, capabilities, governance, and dependencies, while addressing risks, constraints, and transformation priorities. It serves as a practical bridge between strategy and execution, guiding investments, change initiatives, and implementation roadmaps to ensure consistent and sustainable value realisation.
