Listen - there's a major difference between complicated and complex. But more on that another time... In the six months prior to reaching out to us at OTM, BAE Systems were working with a consultancy but called it quits due to a major lack of progress.

When BAE Systems approached us, their operating model was complicated. Their operating structure was expensive, they were overstaffed in some areas and understaffed in others. Moreover, they needed an organization re-design process that was efficient and effective.

Our work together spanned three months and only required 15 days of leadership's time. What transpired was nothing short of a tremendous success. Learn more in the case study: https://hubs.li/Q01N5rM50

Have you ever had that friend that feels the need to assert themselves and take charge at all times? Sometimes they come off as if they are the expert, the holder-of-all-knowledge. This person is highly intelligent, but lacks the self awareness and insight needed to humble themselves.

On the other end of the proverbial personality spectrum, you've got those that sit back and let life 'happen' to them. They don't take charge, they don't lead, they come off as nonchalant but they remain calm and collected through difficult situations.

What do you do when you're in the middle of these two extremes? You take on the partnership, collaborative mentality. You understand that you aren't the expert, but you also lead and drive when and where it is needed. This is where we come in. ON THE MARK consultants sit at the sweet spot. We partner with our clients, we don't assert ourselves as the expert in your field, we listen, and we take charge when we need to. We're insightful enough to know where to take a step back, and where to jump right in.

Silos, lack of strategic direction, poor cross-functional communication and coordination, lack of alignment and a disconnect from the organization's purpose. These are all symptoms of one larger systemic issue: an operating model that is not fit to deliver its purpose.

These symptoms were all present in our work with the City of Phoenix's Human Services Department, so they sought us out to help. Find out how we modernized their operating model to achieve a massive breakthrough: https://hubs.li/Q01N5prd0

As is with most supply chain functions, Nestle UK & Ireland realized they needed a more flexible operating model if they were to meet the influx of commercial demands on the horizon. Despite their already-high-performing team, executives knew it wouldn't be enough.

When they reached out to us at ON THE MARK, we stepped in to take the team through a holistic review of their current state. Once this was complete, leadership decided to go full-steam ahead with a robust and comprehensive organization re-design/operating model modernization. Together, we left no stone unturned.

When people hear the term "consultant" the knee-jerk reaction is "oh, consultant - someone who comes into a company and tells them what's wrong and what they need to do to fix it." In a general sense, this isn't wrong. Traditional consultants tend to behave in this way. But the way we approach consulting is quite different.

Instead of moving in with you, sending tens or hundreds of consultants into your offices to tell you how to do your job, we simply... don't. Instead, we partner with our clients, working with them hand-in-hand. No one knows your business better than you, and we are well aware of that. In fact, we embrace it. We love learning about other companies and how they deliver value, it's part of what drives us.

We're not here to tell you what to do. We're here to guide you through what can be an intimidating process - organization design - using our comprehensive and holistic solution. If you're up for the challenge, and you're looking for a true partner in transformation, let's talk: https://hubs.li/Q01N5v-z0
