Agile Business Change
Achievable Future State Align The Business Around A 12-24 Month Target Operating Model Blueprint
• Define future state customer journeys & where you’ll differentiate on Cx
• Identify key pain points & opportunities in the current employee experience
Build A Logically Sequenced Roadmap To Fast Track Benefits Realisation
• Understand dependencies and sequencing
• Quantify & map benefits realisation timeline
Define Logical Packages Of Integrated People, Process & Technology Change
• Focus on early release of value via minimal viable product / solutions
• Over invest in first line managers & frontline adoption to build the confidence required to progress
to the next package
• Build momentum bottom-up by proving Cx, Ex & financial outcomes to the frontline, managers &
senior leaders
Agile execution within each package
• Schedule activity in 1-4 week sprints

Implementation Approach
13. 13
Run a business-led technology-enabled implementation, invest in high potential
future leaders and use external resources to fill gaps in capacity or capability
Business Owned & Governed
Resource Based on Capability
& Capacity Gaps
Run A Business-Led & Technology Enabled Implementation
• Make business units responsible for governance and decision making
• Use technology and transformation resources to provide leverage
• Utilise existing BAU forums and networks for communication, escalation and change leadership
Use internal and external resources based on available capacity and capability
• Assign transformation responsibilities to future leaders to build future state skills and mindset
• If we have capacity and capability internally, run transformation through BAU
• Back-fill BAU roles if capacity is a challenge
• If capability is a challenge, rent or buy expertise and knowledge transfer through the transformation
