As a business analyst, have you been assigned to an IT project where the focus is on delivering the technical solution and ‘passing it over the fence’ for the business to run with?

It is a familiar story that often results your end users not really reaping the true value of the change.

Delivering successful change, where your end users feel true value, is often underpinned by investing time in defining ‘how’ the change will operate—the target operating model—and more importantly, implementing the operating model.

In this session Caroline will share her experiences of her most recent use case for a global bank. You will learn:
• What a target operating model is
• Approach to defining a target operating model
• Why a Business Analyst is perfectly skilled for the job
• What challenges you may face • Turning a target operating model on paper into a reality
