Insights and Case Studies on Operating Model Design

Your operating model was not designed for AI. That is the problem.

by Philip Watt | 26 Feb 2026 | Uncategorized | 0 Comments

Most organisations we work with are now investing in AI. They are buying licences, running pilots, and standing up governance committees. By any conventional measure, they are doing the right things. But when we look at how AI is being deployed, we see a familiar...

Value Operating System and Target Operating Model: what is the difference?

by Vectris | 12 Feb 2026 | Value Operating System | 0 Comments

The terms 'operating model' and 'target operating model' are used frequently in business, consulting, and PE contexts. They are also used loosely, which creates confusion about what is being discussed, what is being designed, and what is being assessed. The Value...

Value Operating System vs. classic consulting operating models

by Vectris | 11 Feb 2026 | Value Operating System | 0 Comments

Operating model design is not new. The large consulting firms have been delivering operating model engagements for decades, and much of that work has been valuable. The question is not whether conventional approaches are wrong, but whether they are complete, and...

by Vectris | 10 Feb 2026 | Value Operating System | 0 Comments

Operating model debt: the hidden cost of not deciding

by Vectris | 07 Feb 2026 | Value Operating System | 0 Comments

M&A, carve-outs, and divestments: applying the Value Operating System in deal contexts

by Vectris | 06 Feb 2026 | Value Operating System | 0 Comments

Operating model design under deal timelines is a different discipline from operating model design in steady state. The constraints are harder: time is compressed, information is incomplete, the organisation is distracted by the transaction itself, and the stakes are...

Value leakage: where strategy meets operations and money disappears

by Vectris | 05 Feb 2026 | Value Operating System | 0 Comments

Every organisation loses value somewhere between strategic intent and operational delivery. The scale varies, the mechanisms differ, but the pattern is consistent. The strategy describes a clear path to value creation. The financial plan quantifies it. And somewhere...

The capability-technology-data triangle: why most organisations get the sequence wrong

by Vectris | 04 Feb 2026 | Value Operating System | 0 Comments
