About the program

Delegates explore how a common model can accommodate the processes that each business cannot change. The working session revisits One-to-OneUsual and its implementation annexes, then asks whether an exception can become a principle if enough people require it.

Who it is for

Operating-model leaders, integration directors and business-unit representatives with essential local exceptions.

Program

  1. One model, introduced

    The distinction between a local model and a local implementation of the common model.

  2. Exception exchange

    Delegates compare the variations considered indispensable in their own businesses.

  3. The common diagram

    A facilitator redraws the model until every exception fits outside it.

  4. Closing position

    The diagram is approved; implementation remains locally determined.

The working takeaway

A model-to-annex mapping sheet and an agreed approach to describing differences as alignment.
