The Operating Model
Rewire how work runs with people and AI agents.
We redesign workflows, roles, handoffs, decisions, and ownership so people and AI agents can operate together as one system.
Challenges
The problems this solves
AI does not change the business when it is added on top of old workflows. The Operating Model defines how work should move when people and AI agents each do what they do best.
-
Old workflows with new tools
AI is added to existing processes, but the work still moves through the same handoffs, approvals, meetings, and manual steps.
-
Unclear human and AI roles
Teams do not know what AI should do, what people should own, where approval is needed, or who is accountable when work moves through the system.
-
Adoption stuck in pockets
One team finds a useful way to work with AI, but the behavior does not spread because ownership, habits, incentives, and decision rights are not defined.
Solution scope
What we deliver
The Operating Model defines how work, roles, decisions, and AI agents should operate together inside the organization.
Workflow Redesign
We redesign the flow of work around people and AI agents, defining what changes, what stays human, and where AI can act, support, or escalate.
Role and Decision Design
We define the human roles, AI responsibilities, decision rights, approval points, and ownership needed for the new way of working.
Adoption and Operating Rhythm
We help teams move into the new model with clear habits, handover points, governance routines, and ownership so the change becomes part of daily operations.
Outcomes
What you get
A clear operating model for how people and AI agents work together, make decisions, and move work through the organization.
Where work gets stuck
What the Operating Model creates
Workflows
Old processes with AI added on top
AI-native flows of work
Work is redesigned around what people and AI agents each do best.
Roles
Unclear ownership
Defined human and AI responsibilities
Teams know who does what, where AI supports, and who remains accountable.
Decisions
Slow handoffs and approval loops
Clear decision paths
Decision rights, approval points, and escalation logic are built into the workflow.
Adoption
Isolated AI usage
New operating habits
Teams have the routines, ownership, and support needed to make the model work in daily operations.
Common questions
What organizations usually ask before redesigning their operating model around AI.
What is an AI-native operating model?
An AI-native operating model defines how work runs when people and AI agents operate together. It covers workflows, roles, decision rights, approval points, ownership, governance routines, and adoption habits. The goal is not to add AI to the old way of working, but to redesign the way work moves through the organization.
How is this different from change management?
Traditional change management often focuses on communication, training, and rollout. The Operating Model goes deeper. It redesigns the work itself: who does what, where AI acts, where humans stay in control, how decisions move, and how the new way becomes part of daily operations.
Do you replace people with AI agents?
No. We define what people and AI agents should each do best. AI agents can support, prepare, check, summarize, route, recommend, or act within clear boundaries. People remain responsible for judgment, accountability, oversight, relationships, and high-risk decisions.
What parts of the organization does this affect?
It depends on the problem. The Operating Model can affect workflows, roles, handoffs, decision rights, approval paths, performance metrics, governance routines, training, team responsibilities, and how work is coordinated across functions.
How do you make sure teams actually adopt the new model?
Adoption starts with the design. We involve the people closest to the work, define clear ownership, make the new workflow practical, and build the habits, routines, and support needed for teams to use it. Adoption is measured by whether the work changes, not whether a tool was launched.
Do we need a new AI department for this?
Not necessarily. Many organizations can start by redesigning responsibilities inside existing teams. Where new roles or ownership structures are needed, we help define them clearly so AI can scale without creating confusion.
How do you handle governance inside the operating model?
Governance is built into the way work moves. That means defining where AI can act, where human approval is needed, who owns the outcome, what gets monitored, and how exceptions are escalated. Governance should support the operating model, not sit outside it.
What do we get at the end?
You get a defined AI-native operating model for the selected business area or workflow. That includes redesigned workflows, human and AI roles, decision rights, approval points, ownership, adoption routines, and the path to scale the model across the organization.
