What breaks without it

Commitments drop inside one
person’s work

Where to begin

How does each person govern the execution of their own work?

If that is the question, the Workshop is the right engagement. It implements the Operating Model at the individual level, and for that level it is complete.

How does work hold as it crosses between people inside a team?

If that is the question, Team-Led Installation is the right engagement. It includes individual implementation and establishes the team’s own Shared Execution Rules.

How does work hold across teams and units?

If that is the question, Organizational Installation is the right engagement. It includes individual implementation and establishes the organization’s own Shared Execution Rules across teams and organizational boundaries.
