How the Intelligent
Operating Model works
The path to real-time execution alignment
Most organizations struggle to translate strategy into execution because their operating models are static. The Intelligent Operating Model enables a seamless maturity progression, ensuring execution continuously aligns with evolving strategic priorities. Organizations advance through the following stages:
The Intelligent Operating Model modernizes and augments your existing operating model. Powered by advanced AI and real-time data, it reshapes how you operate, eliminating inefficiencies, reducing missed opportunities, and overcoming the roadblocks that slow you down.
Level 1: Foundational Execution — Strategy and execution are disconnected, and decisions are made in silos without real-time feedback.
Level 2: Connected Execution — Teams collaborate better, but execution still lags behind strategic shifts and external market changes.
Level 3: Optimized Execution — Execution dynamically adjusts based on live prioritization and risk awareness, ensuring focus on the most critical initiatives.
Level 4: Adaptive Execution — Execution is fully real-time, adaptive, and continuously evolving based on external and internal data signals, making the organization truly adaptive.
01
Seamless execution
Translate high-level goals into clear, actionable steps to ensure alignment across your organization.
02
Clear accountability
Ensure every team member knows their role and responsibilities and how their work contributes to the big picture.
03
Proactive risk management
Identify risks early to turn disruptions into opportunities for growth.
01
Strategy Codification
Converts high-level goals into structured, executable actions using AI-driven insights and historical patterns.
02
Provides real-time visibility into execution risks, ensuring leadership can detect misalignment before it happens.
03
Ensures that time, budget, and talent are continuously reallocated to the highest-value initiatives as conditions change.
Traditional execution lags behind strategy, creating misalignment and wasted effort. The Intelligent Operating Model closes the strategy-market gap by continuously aligning execution with real-time priorities and market realities. With live visibility into execution, your teams stay focused on what matters — adapting as conditions evolve.
Without shared situational awareness, organizations operate in blind spots, making decisions based on outdated assumptions. The Intelligent Operating Model delivers live insights across teams and leadership, providing clarity on execution bottlenecks, risk factors, and emerging opportunities — so leaders can course-correct before issues escalate.
Misallocated resources slow execution and drain impact. The Intelligent Operating Model enables dynamic resource allocation and adaptive portfolio management, ensuring budget, time, and talent are continuously reallocated to the highest-value initiatives — not just during annual planning cycles.
Static plans fail in dynamic environments. The Intelligent Operating Model ensures collaborative planning at every level, connecting top-down strategy with bottom-up execution. Teams align faster, break down silos, and adapt execution plans in real time — turning strategy into structured action with shared ownership.
As execution scales, dependencies grow — introducing risk and complexity. The Intelligent Operating Model, powered by the Parallel Twin, identifies execution risks early, highlights interdependencies, and automates alignment workflows — ensuring strategy remains actionable, achievable, and resilient in an unpredictable market.
01
Strategy-market misalignment leads to execution gaps
Including stalled initiatives, and wasted resources — not because leaders don’t want to adjust, but because they lack the full picture across the organization.
02
Course correction requires shared situational awareness
Insight doesn’t surface automatically — it must be pulled from across teams, functions, and business units, breaking down silos where the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.
03
Annual planning cycles are too rigid
Leaders need real-time decision intelligence to detect misalignment early, prioritize dynamically, and act with confidence.
The Impact of the
Intelligent Operating Model
Organizations that deploy the Intelligent Operating Model see immediate, measurable improvements in execution performance, decision-making, and operational agility:
Faster, More Informed Decision-Making
Reduce decision lag by integrating live strategy-execution tracking, ensuring leaders act on the most current and relevant insights rather than outdated reports. Enable proactive adjustments rather than reactive course corrections, keeping execution aligned with evolving priorities.
Ensure leadership and teams work from a single source of truth, eliminating confusion, conflicting priorities, and misalignment. Break down silos by connecting top-down strategy with bottom-up execution, ensuring that what’s being worked on aligns with what matters most.
Optimize resource allocation dynamically, ensuring investments go to high-impact projects. Eliminate wasteful spending on misaligned or outdated initiatives.
Continuously monitor market conditions, competitor moves, and internal execution risks. Enable real-time course correction based on live execution and market signals.
Reduce execution bottlenecks by automating dependencies, governance, and alignment workflows. Free up resources for high-value work by minimizing manual coordination overhead.
Move faster than competitors by aligning execution with evolving priorities. Ensure your teams work on what matters most — when it matters most.
