5starcooks Target Operating Model A Complete Guide - 2020 Edition

Unlock the power of a well-designed Target Operating Model. Companies that align strategy, processes and technology with a clear operating model achieve higher efficiency, faster decision making and stronger competitive advantage. Yet many organizations lack a practical method to evaluate their current state and plan systematic improvements. This book delivers a structured Self-Assessment methodology built around seven critical criteria - Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain. Inside you will find hundreds of Target Operating Model-specific questions. Readers score each question on a 1-5 scale, and the results generate a radar chart Scorecard that instantly highlights the exact areas that need attention. The approach is simple enough for newcomers yet detailed enough for seasoned practitioners to benchmark their organization's operating model maturity. Included Professional Toolkit (40-48 Practitioner Tools): The toolkit is created fresh at the time of purchase so it reflects the latest standards and best practices. It is organized into ten sections: Getting Started, Assessment and Planning, Models and Frameworks, Processes and Handoffs, Operations and Execution, Performance and KPIs, Quality and Compliance, Sustainment and Support, Advanced Topics, and Reference. The collection contains maturity assessments with scored improvement paths, gap analyses, decision frameworks with scoring criteria, implementation roadmaps, stakeholder maps, process runbooks, KPI dashboard templates, risk matrices, audit checklists, quick reference cards and more. Each Excel file includes three sheets - Instructions, Template, Pro Tips and Common Mistakes - and each PDF provides Pro Tips, Common Mistakes and a Quick Reference section. In total the package offers roughly 28 Excel spreadsheets and 16 PDF guides, all tailored specifically to Target Operating Model, not generic templates. Every purchase also includes Lifetime Updates. As the Target Operating Model discipline evolves, buyers receive updated content and refreshed toolkit materials, ensuring continuous relevance without additional cost. This guide is ideal for Chief Operating Officers, Business Process Managers, and Enterprise Architects who need a fast, reliable way to assess current operating model health, identify gaps and drive systematic improvement. For example, a COO preparing a major digital transformation can use the assessment to baseline current processes, then apply the toolkit to design a phased implementation plan. Developed by The Art of Service, business process architects serving over 100,000 professionals across 160 countries since 2000. Every book and toolkit draws on 25 years of operational excellence research and a continuously updated knowledge base spanning hundreds of industry frameworks.
