Operating Model is a term that is used in many contexts. An Operating Model is the abstract representation of how an organisation operates across process, organisation, technology domains in order to deliver value defined by the organisation in scope.
Any organisation is a complex system consisting of several different interlinked logical components. An Operating Model breaks “this complex machinery” down into its logical components and deploys the appropriate analysis and design techniques for each component in order to deliver better value.
An Operating Model can be used as a framework for formulating Operations Strategy – explicit choices about the best deployment of organisation’s elements to achieve the business goals. An Operating Model is usually informed by the Business Model. In some cases, an Operating Model can become the source of competitive advantage and can inform the Business Model.
The Operating Model can be a vehicle product to describe how the organization does business today - the "as-is" Operating Model. This can be the foundation for an organization that wants to transform its business. New business drivers can be translated into requirements that can lead to a new "to-be" or "Target" Operating Model. The Target Operating Model represents the high level requirements that drive the future Business and IT Architecture design.
