The Challenge
The client manages a £17Bn Graduated Equipment Programme but lacked a structured operating model and the required skilled personnel to manage it effectively. To address this, a new Target Operating Model was required to define the portfolio’s strategic intent, governance structures, processes, and roles, ensuring alignment with client’s objectives.
