As public and private sector organisations undertake more projects and programmes to deliver growth, sustainability and performance improvement, we are witnessing increasing programme complexity, scale, duration, risk and an evolving shape of the supply chain ecosystem. This means investors, stakeholders, intelligent-clients and delivery agencies must design operating models that enable them to Strategize, Set-up and Deliver major programmes, and get this right first time.

In this session, Nathan will explore the fundamentals of building operating models for the future right, with a focus on:

• Strategy – taking time to understand…purpose, outcomes, approaches, corporate and programme capability, business and benefits case, systems, data and business architecture and risk appetite…and building this into a strategy for the Operating Model to drive performance within.
• Set-up – ensuring the right capabilities, processes, partners, systems, tools, funds, data and business governance, mitigations etc are in place, before initiation.
• Delivery – driving accurate, timely, and efficient delivery of results…then optimising performance and pace through robotic process automation (RPA), predictive data analytics, pre-emptive cyber and programme risk assessment and avoidance etc.

We will explain -

70% of digital transformations fail - almost because they’re designed to. When transformations don’t consider ‘culture’, they lose the ability to evolve as needed; and so experienced leaders realise how ‘culture’ is an essential dimension to IT transformation. 

There are implicit financial structures in every organisation. If you want to change an organisation, you need to look at how money works within it. These topologies are invisible and exert a powerful hidden influence which often hinders change. Understanding their influence is crucial to sustainable business transformation.

Join us for this boardroom discussion where we will be unpacking a deeper structural cause of problems in change management - how money flows through the organisation.

Key Takeaways

• A unique understanding of money flows, cultural gaps and how your finance team could change everything - some immediate to-do’s!

• Transformational awareness of behaviour, goals and the way financial decisions are made

• Connections with peers who share similar constraints
