In today’s digital landscape, success depends on an organisation’s ability to adapt and innovate. This requires a fundamental reassessment of collaborative practices to ensure they are aligned with the evolving demands of technology. The essence of such adaptation is expressed in your operating model, which is the critical enabler for redesigning workflows and refining your organisational culture and ways of working.
The Business Technology Standard (BTS) provides a pragmatic operating model designed to seamlessly integrate business and technology. This approach fosters a collaborative atmosphere where multiple stakeholders come together to drive effective transformation projects. BTS provides a structured yet adaptable framework that ensures these transformations support immediate operational needs, while paving the way for achieving long-term strategic goals. This balance is vital for organisations seeking to remain competitive in a rapidly changing business environment.
