• It is best to design all components initially rather than attempting to piece meal each.
• The model gains the most value by having each area well thought out, only defining
one or two components eventually drives the need for the rest.
• Some components can be designed in parallel, others should be build upon one
another.
• Model is designed in an integrated fashion consistent with the overall all Shared
Services vision and strategic objectives.
• Each component should account for how Shared Services will be positioned in the
organization (single function vs. multi-function).
• The technologies component will determine the high-level application and technical
architecture.

Case Study:
Enabling Service Delivery
Service was structured to account for customer uniqueness's, paths of
interaction, coverage by staff, information necessary to service, and skill
sets required.
• Staff coverage
• Desired Customer
Experience
• The Operating Model should consist of a high-level description of the Shared Services solution
which summarizes the new organization, the scope of services, and how it will interact with the
operating units, customers, suppliers, and other third parties. It should be targeted at a board-
level audience and clearly define how the “to be” differs from the current model.
• The key influences on the Operating Model design will come from the Shared Services vision and
strategic objectives. The vision and strategic objectives will have been developed with significant
input and direction from senior leadership. The Model should clearly make the link to the
organization’s objectives.
• The Operating Model should be a holistic view of the new organization. It is intended to be
relatively high-level. This is of particular relevance to the development of the process model. It is
not advised to develop detailed process and application designs, while issues associated with the
organization, service management, etc. have not been sufficiently explored.
• The Operating Model creates the basis for the Business Case and Implementation Plan. If the
Operating Model goes to a level of detail that does not increase the level of confidence in those
deliverables, work will have prematurely extended into the Design phase.
