Organizations are constantly challenged to align their operational capabilities with their strategic objectives. An effective operating model serves as the backbone of this alignment, acting as a bridge that connects strategic vision with operational execution.
Organizations must continuously adapt and evolve to stay ahead of the competition. One key factor in achieving realisation of strategy is the operating model, which serves as the foundation for execution and provides a clear guide for how resources are organised to get critical work done.
From the importance of leadership support to leveraging technology for accessible learning, we cover the essential elements that make learning the heartbeat of organizational transformation.
