Product & Platform Target Operating Model - Manager / Senior Manager

Our Organisational Effectiveness & Agility practice is looking for an experienced Manager or Senior Manager with experience in Product & Platform model transformation

We help organisations rethink how they organise, govern, fund and deliver products and platforms so they can respond faster to changing customer needs, make better investment decisions and get greater value from technology. Many organisations have made progress towards Agile, Product and Platform ways of working, but still operate with legacy project funding, fragmented technology ownership, unclear accountabilities, duplicated capabilities and governance designed around programmes rather than enduring products and services. We help clients move beyond simply introducing Product roles or Agile ceremonies to fundamentally redesign how strategy, funding, governance, technology, people and delivery come together around products and platforms.

What you will be doing

As a Manager or Senior Manager, you will play a key role in contributing to and leading workstreams in the design and implementation of Product & Platform operating models, working with business, digital and technology stakeholders to translate strategic priorities into practical changes to organisation, governance, funding, capabilities and ways of working.

We are particularly interested in people who can connect the different elements of the Product & Platform model and work with clients on questions such as:

• What should genuinely be managed as a Product or Platform?
• Where should accountability for customer, business and technology outcomes sit?
• How should Product, Engineering, Architecture, Data and Operations work together?
• What decisions should teams be empowered to make, and what needs enterprise governance?
• How should investment move from projects towards persistent products and platforms?
• How should demand and capacity be managed across the organisation ?
• How should enterprise platforms operate as products for their internal consumers?
• How do we measure whether the Product & Platform model is actually creating more value?
• How do we transition from today's <span data-ccp-
