The experts' guide: Design your operating model for growth, cost & agility

Leaders today are tasked with a complex balancing act: aligning immediate operational efficiency with long-term growth, delivery for today's customers while also paving the way for tomorrow's, and maintaining agility amidst future strategy. As 2024 commences, the need for leaders to expand beyond a single-focused strategy in their operating models becomes paramount.

In this discussion, our expert Q5 panel discusses how to design organisations that achieve a broad spectrum of objectives - be it cost, agility, growth, or anything in between. Drawing on their 80+ years of cross-sector experience, they'll provide real-life examples and tackle pressing questions like:

• Can organisations really have it all - an operating model that balances cost optimisation, long-term growth, and agility?   
• What are the most common pitfalls for businesses failing to balance competing strategic priorities? 
• How does leadership affect an organisation’s ability to balance multiple strategic priorities? What are the specific qualities that help drive success?  
• What are some practical steps that you can start taking to incorporate a multi-lens approach in your operating model design? 

Facilitated by Natalie Firth (Head of Organisation Design, Q5), hear from our global experts Tom Leary (Partner, Q5), Audrey Laing (Associate Partner, Q5) and Nalin Mehrotra (Director, Q5).
