Cloud leaders, architects and operating-model designers

Design a target Cloud operating model

Move from business outcomes and constraints to bounded functions, decision rights, interfaces and a feasible target organization.

Useful outcome

A coherent target model with explicit trade-offs and acceptance criteria.

Working sequence

  1. 01

    Choose a credible reference archetype.

  2. 02

    Tailor function mandates before assigning reporting lines.

  3. 03

    Allocate decision rights and interface contracts.

  4. 04

    Compare two or three feasible scenarios and record the decision rationale.

Questions worth resolving

Challenge the model

  • Which outcomes should the target model improve?
  • Which authorities must remain centralized?
  • What capability must exist before accountability can move?
