Core organization design frameworks.
We know the joke: consultants use way too many frameworks. But these are our favorites. Rooted in Jay Galbraith’s methodology and refined over years of practice, these are the essential models we rely on to guide our clients.
How we do the design work.
An operating model translates strategic choices into an organization that can execute them. This framework provides a holistic view of every component, guiding you through the specific sequence of decisions needed to design how the enterprise will run. The decisions generally fall in this sequence, but the framework is a thinking tool rather than a rigid process: teams loop back and revisit earlier choices as the design sharpens.
How we use it with clients
We use this framework to help leadership teams think through the full set of operating model decisions, usually in facilitated sessions against explicit design criteria. The order flexes with the situation; what matters is that nothing gets skipped, and that the engagement ends with a documented set of choices every leader can trace back to strategy.
