Operating Model & Organization Design for Enterprise Transformation

Designing your enterprise to deliver value through its people, processes, and technology, aligning execution across the organization.

let’s talk

Operating Models

Our operating model design services help enterprises optimize how they deliver value. We assess your current operating model against strategic goals and design new models that improve agility, governance, and value delivery.

Whether implementing Product Operating Models, Value Stream Management, or our AI Operating Model™, we ensure your operating model supports sustainable business transformation.

Organization Design

Our organization design services optimize team structures and workflows to accelerate value delivery. Using proven methodologies like Team Topologies and value stream identification, we redesign organizational structures to minimize dependencies, reduce silos, and improve cross-functional collaboration.

Organization design is not about defining new functional hierarchies for your Product, HR, IT, and Operations groups. It’s about looking at the flow of value within your operating models, and optimizing organization designs to improve the flow of value across your organization while minimizing silos, dependencies, and waste.

Coaching

Our coaching team provides hands-on guidance to help your organization’s leaders and teams embrace and adopt new operating models and organization designs so that your transformative investments deliver maximum value directly to your customers and business.

Change Management

Change management is the endurance event that makes or breaks a successful transformation or enterprise initiative. Drawing on change management principles from Kotter’s Eight Steps and ADKAR, we help you create and execute a change management strategy to support your desired outcomes.

Coaching and training for executives, leaders, and teams are key components in executing the change management strategy. Coaching and training help the organization learn and adopt new habits and build repeatability, predictability, and sustainability around value delivery.

Customer Stories

Fragmented intake and competing priorities limited strategic execution. Agile Rising implemented portfolio management and operating model improvements that streamlined governance and planning. Result: stronger strategy-to-execution alignment, improved capacity planning, and a 395% productivity increase within a critical cybersecurity function.

Disconnected priorities created challenges across product and business teams. Agile Rising established a product-centric operating model and portfolio planning framework. Result: stronger roadmap alignment, improved collaboration, and more effective investment decision-making.

Inconsistent intake, poor dependency management, and limited visibility across hardware, software, and specialty product teams were slowing delivery and undermining predictability. Agile Rising redesigned the operating model, standardized prioritization, and aligned work to team capacity — while coaching leaders and teams through the shift to more iterative ways of working. Result: data-driven delivery metrics, stronger cross-functional coordination, and a scalable foundation for continued growth.

Inconsistent planning reduced visibility and predictability. Agile Rising implemented a tailored operating model focused on planning and execution excellence. Result: improved delivery predictability, strategic focus, and roadmap visibility.

Legacy delivery practices were creating too much work in process, limited transparency, and inconsistent alignment between business and technology teams. A more adaptive operating model, supported by prioritized backlogs, strategic alignment practices, and capacity-based planning, helped reduce work in process, improve visibility, and strengthen collaboration across the organization.

Lengthy delivery cycles limited organizational responsiveness. Agile Rising guided a multi-year transformation focused on portfolio modernization and product-centric delivery. Result: delivery timelines reduced from more than one year to less than one month in key areas.

Technology investments and delivery execution lacked alignment. Agile Rising redesigned the operating model and implemented portfolio management practices. Result: improved organizational agility, stronger planning, and enhanced technology delivery effectiveness.
