The IT operating model is not a static entity and it
should evolve according to changing business needs.
However, business needs are very diverse and groups
consume technology in different patterns. The IT
operating model needs to support and enable multiple
groups of technology service consumers, while
continuously adapting to changing business conditions
and needs.

Executive summary
• Traditional IT operating models tend to be static and are not equipped to
deal with evolving business needs (Mercer et al.).
• The IT organization has a difficult time identifying and acting on
changing market and technology trends.
• IT is becoming more integrated in the creation and delivery of value.
• Organizations have to adapt to numerous trends, increasing pressure on
IT to move at the same speed as the business (Mercer et al.).
• The business, seeing slow IT reaction, looks to external solutions to
address its challenges (Frost & Sullivan).
• Organizational leaders don’t have a unified definition of an operating
model.
• Determine how each technology consumer group interacts with IT. Use consumer experience maps to determine
what kind of services consumer groups use and if there are opportunities to improve the delivery of those services.
• Identify how changing business conditions will affect the consumption of technology services. Classify your
consumers based on the business uncertainty and their reliance on IT to plan for the future delivery of services.
• Optimize the IT operating model. Create a target IT operating model based on the gathered information about
technology service consumers. Select different implementations of common operating model elements: governance,
sourcing, process, and structure.
The IT operating model is not a static
entity and should evolve according to
changing business needs. However,
business needs are diverse, and the IT
organization must recognize that the
business includes groups that consume
technology in different patterns.
The IT operating model needs to support
and enable multiple groups, while
continuously adapting to changing
business conditions.

Business strategy first, IT strategy second, and operating
model third
The CIO and the IT organization establish the appropriate IT operating model after strategic planning is complete. The
IT operating model seeks to answer the “how” to the IT strategy’s “what.”
Business
Strategy
IT Strategy
IT
Operating
Model
“Why does our
enterprise exist in
the market?”
“What does IT need
to be and do to
support the
enterprise’s ability to
meet its goals?”
“How does IT need
to operate on a daily
basis to meet the
goals of the
strategy?”
The operating model in its simplest form dictates where and how critical work gets done across a
company. It serves as a vital link between a company’s strategy and the detailed organization design that
it puts in place to deliver on the strategy.
- Bain & Company
Info-Tech Research Group 6Info-Tech Research Group 6
The IT counterpart to the business operating model sets an IT
organization apart and determines how IT adds value
Pick any two companies in the same industry, and it is likely that about 70% of their respective
operating models look remarkably similar. But the 30% of the operating model that is different –
and reflects the company’s particular strategy, portfolio, and culture – can make or break the
company. The best operating models suit a company’s unique profile.
- Bain & Company
Business Operating Model
“How do we compete?”
“How do we add value?”
“How do we interact?”
IT Operating Model
“How do we make technology
decisions?”
“How do we provide services?”
“How do we organize our teams?”
“How do we leverage vendors?”
“How do we foster a strong culture?”

Traditional IT operating models are not getting the job done
CIOs are fast realizing that their carefully crafted enterprise-wide technology infrastructure and
talent base built over the years are falling short in light of disruptive forces. The growing need to
cultivate an agile organization that can quickly respond to market disruptions makes it imperative
for organizations to intertwine their IT and business objectives.

Adapted from: McKinsey & Company, “IT under pressure: McKinsey Global Survey results.”
Info-Tech Research Group 8Info-Tech Research Group 8
Attempts at dividing the IT organization into two separate
camps has yielded sub-par results
A bimodal IT operating model might sound great in theory, but in application, this model often fails to account for the
complexities of its implementation.
Instead of dividing an IT organization and its people between activities that are seen as either boring or static versus
exciting and fast-paced, IT should organize and mobilize in a dynamic manner to meet the technology service needs
of consumers who move at different speeds and in various business directions.
The problem organizations run into creating bimodal systems is the stigma that the mode 1 group
operating back-office systems is slower than the mode 2 unit building digital technologies.
Employees may not want to work on mode 1 because of the perception that it is not innovative.
That creates a dangerous culture that could lead to competing architectures.

Definition of an IT operating model
The IT operating model defines how the IT organization
is mobilized and organized to enable the enterprise to
achieve its goals.
The model communicates the interplay of governance,
sourcing, processes, and organizational structure that
facilitate the delivery of technology services to internal
and external technology service consumers.
Business and IT leaders alike talk about operating models, yet they are rarely on the same page. Info-
Tech provides a simple definition for the IT operating model.
Info-Tech Research Group 10Info-Tech Research Group 10
Elements of an IT operating model
The IT operating model consists of four elements, which when optimally combined, enable IT to deliver technology
services to consumers in a manner that matches their business realities and patterns of technology consumption.
Governance
Elements of an IT Operating Model
Sourcing
Process
Organizational
Structure
Governance ensures that
stakeholder needs,
conditions, and options are
evaluated to determine
enterprise objectives to be
achieved, setting direction
through prioritization and
decision making, and
monitoring performance
against agreed-on direction
and objectives.
Describe an organized set of
practices and activities to
achieve certain objectives
and produce a set of outputs
in support of achieving
overall goals. Processes can
have various levels of
formalization and
stakeholder involvement.
Outlines the optimal mix of
sourcing models that is
utilized to create, deliver,
and support technology
services and products.
Sourcing is usually broken
down into three broad
categories: insourcing, co-
sourcing, and outsourcing.
The arrangement of lines of
authority, rights,
communications, and duties
of an organization. The
structure determines how
the roles, power, and
responsibilities are assigned,
controlled, and coordinated
across the IT organization.

Info-Tech Research Group 11Info-Tech Research Group 11
Measure the impact of operating model changes using one
simple indicator: overall business satisfaction with IT services
Improved
Business
Satisfaction
with IT
Services
Changes to the IT operating model are aimed at improving the delivery of technology services. As such, any
modifications to how IT operates and delivers those services should improve the perception of value from the
consumers and their satisfaction with technology services.
Use Info-Tech’s CIO Business Vision diagnostic program to collect baseline data. After a set time period (6-
12 months), conduct the diagnostic again to measure the changes in overall satisfaction with IT services.
Processes will be
structured, standardized,
and formalized to fit the
needs of the consumers
and to optimize the delivery
of specific services.
Decisions will be made at
the right speed with the
desired level of business
involvement.
Teams will be structured
and staffed to deliver
services to consumers in
the most appropriate way.
IT will optimize the use of
internal resources and the
reliance on third-party
knowledge and capabilities
to deliver services.

  • 4. Info-Tech Research Group 4Info-Tech Research Group 4 Resolution Situation Complication Info-Tech Insight Executive summary • Traditional IT operating models tend to be static and are not equipped to deal with evolving business needs (Mercer et al.). • The IT organization has a difficult time identifying and acting on changing market and technology trends. • IT is becoming more integrated in the creation and delivery of value. • Organizations have to adapt to numerous trends, increasing pressure on IT to move at the same speed as the business (Mercer et al.). • The business, seeing slow IT reaction, looks to external solutions to address its challenges (Frost & Sullivan). • Organizational leaders don’t have a unified definition of an operating model. • Determine how each technology consumer group interacts with IT. Use consumer experience maps to determine what kind of services consumer groups use and if there are opportunities to improve the delivery of those services. • Identify how changing business conditions will affect the consumption of technology services. Classify your consumers based on the business uncertainty and their reliance on IT to plan for the future delivery of services. • Optimize the IT operating model. Create a target IT operating model based on the gathered information about technology service consumers. Select different implementations of common operating model elements: governance, sourcing, process, and structure. The IT operating model is not a static entity and should evolve according to changing business needs. However, business needs are diverse, and the IT organization must recognize that the business includes groups that consume technology in different patterns. The IT operating model needs to support and enable multiple groups, while continuously adapting to changing business conditions.
  • 5. Info-Tech Research Group 5Info-Tech Research Group 5 Business strategy first, IT strategy second, and operating model third The CIO and the IT organization establish the appropriate IT operating model after strategic planning is complete. The IT operating model seeks to answer the “how” to the IT strategy’s “what.” Business Strategy IT Strategy IT Operating Model “Why does our enterprise exist in the market?” “What does IT need to be and do to support the enterprise’s ability to meet its goals?” “How does IT need to operate on a daily basis to meet the goals of the strategy?” The operating model in its simplest form dictates where and how critical work gets done across a company. It serves as a vital link between a company’s strategy and the detailed organization design that it puts in place to deliver on the strategy. - Bain & Company
  • 6. Info-Tech Research Group 6Info-Tech Research Group 6 The IT counterpart to the business operating model sets an IT organization apart and determines how IT adds value Pick any two companies in the same industry, and it is likely that about 70% of their respective operating models look remarkably similar. But the 30% of the operating model that is different – and reflects the company’s particular strategy, portfolio, and culture – can make or break the company. The best operating models suit a company’s unique profile. - Bain & Company Business Operating Model “How do we compete?” “How do we add value?” “How do we interact?” IT Operating Model “How do we make technology decisions?” “How do we provide services?” “How do we organize our teams?” “How do we leverage vendors?” “How do we foster a strong culture?” Source: Bain & Company
  • 7. Info-Tech Research Group 7Info-Tech Research Group 7 Traditional IT operating models are not getting the job done CIOs are fast realizing that their carefully crafted enterprise-wide technology infrastructure and talent base built over the years are falling short in light of disruptive forces. The growing need to cultivate an agile organization that can quickly respond to market disruptions makes it imperative for organizations to intertwine their IT and business objectives. - Cognizant 22% of IT executives agree 17% of IT executives agree 2012 2013 IT organization is very effective in driving technology enablement or innovation in business processes and operations. 18% of IT executives agree 10% of IT executives agree IT organization is very effective in introducing new technologies faster and/or more effectively than competitors. Adapted from: McKinsey & Company, “IT under pressure: McKinsey Global Survey results.”
  • 8. Info-Tech Research Group 8Info-Tech Research Group 8 Attempts at dividing the IT organization into two separate camps has yielded sub-par results A bimodal IT operating model might sound great in theory, but in application, this model often fails to account for the complexities of its implementation. Instead of dividing an IT organization and its people between activities that are seen as either boring or static versus exciting and fast-paced, IT should organize and mobilize in a dynamic manner to meet the technology service needs of consumers who move at different speeds and in various business directions. The problem organizations run into creating bimodal systems is the stigma that the mode 1 group operating back-office systems is slower than the mode 2 unit building digital technologies. Employees may not want to work on mode 1 because of the perception that it is not innovative. That creates a dangerous culture that could lead to competing architectures. - Bill Ruh, CDO at GE Support Innovate Integrated Technology Services at Your Speed Consumers Consumers IT IT Source: CIO.com. “Why bimodal IT kills your culture and adds complexity.”
  • 9. Info-Tech Research Group 9Info-Tech Research Group 9 Definition of an IT operating model The IT operating model defines how the IT organization is mobilized and organized to enable the enterprise to achieve its goals. The model communicates the interplay of governance, sourcing, processes, and organizational structure that facilitate the delivery of technology services to internal and external technology service consumers. Business and IT leaders alike talk about operating models, yet they are rarely on the same page. Info- Tech provides a simple definition for the IT operating model.
  • 10. Info-Tech Research Group 10Info-Tech Research Group 10 Elements of an IT operating model The IT operating model consists of four elements, which when optimally combined, enable IT to deliver technology services to consumers in a manner that matches their business realities and patterns of technology consumption. Governance Elements of an IT Operating Model Sourcing Process Organizational Structure Governance ensures that stakeholder needs, conditions, and options are evaluated to determine enterprise objectives to be achieved, setting direction through prioritization and decision making, and monitoring performance against agreed-on direction and objectives. Describe an organized set of practices and activities to achieve certain objectives and produce a set of outputs in support of achieving overall goals. Processes can have various levels of formalization and stakeholder involvement. Outlines the optimal mix of sourcing models that is utilized to create, deliver, and support technology services and products. Sourcing is usually broken down into three broad categories: insourcing, co- sourcing, and outsourcing. The arrangement of lines of authority, rights, communications, and duties of an organization. The structure determines how the roles, power, and responsibilities are assigned, controlled, and coordinated across the IT organization.

  • 11. Info-Tech Research Group 11Info-Tech Research Group 11 Measure the impact of operating model changes using one simple indicator: overall business satisfaction with IT services Improved Business Satisfaction with IT Services Changes to the IT operating model are aimed at improving the delivery of technology services. As such, any modifications to how IT operates and delivers those services should improve the perception of value from the consumers and their satisfaction with technology services. Use Info-Tech’s CIO Business Vision diagnostic program to collect baseline data. After a set time period (6- 12 months), conduct the diagnostic again to measure the changes in overall satisfaction with IT services. Processes will be structured, standardized, and formalized to fit the needs of the consumers and to optimize the delivery of specific services. Decisions will be made at the right speed with the desired level of business involvement. Teams will be structured and staffed to deliver services to consumers in the most appropriate way. IT will optimize the use of internal resources and the reliance on third-party knowledge and capabilities to deliver services.
