Executive summary

A blueprint for designing how an approved market entry will actually operate: who does what, who decides what, and under which limits.

What is inside

What the design covers

The asset takes the approved option and its conditions from the investment case and walks the design team through the capability inventory, placement choices, interface and handoff design, the decision rights charter with authority limits, gate and review ownership, and a stress test of the whole design before approval.

  • Scope: the operating model for one approved entry option, from gate approval to steady state
  • Capability inventory and placement across local unit, partner, regional and home office
  • Decision inventory with single accountability and numeric authority limits
  • Handoffs between the market unit and the rest of the organization, with service standards
  • Ownership of the conversion gate, its evidence, and the scheduled review trigger
  • Operating model archetypes compared, with the conditions under which each fits
  • A design approval gate, a worked example and a failure case
