The Situation
At a global biotechnology firm, the new leadership of the R&D Informatics group (an organization within IT responsible for serving global scientific users), recognized the need to better align its operating model with their customers’ needs and enable the provision of world-class service.
The Satori Solution
We led the redesign and deployment of the operating model to align more closely with the needs of customers. The transformation included the redesign and deployment of a new organizational structure, update of existing roles and design of role profiles necessary to support critical future capabilities, design/deployment of governance processes to manage resource allocation and project portfolio optimization, and alignment of the group’s competency model and performance management framework with that of the broader IT organization. We also managed change by initially conducting a change readiness assessment and executing the subsequently developed stakeholder engagement and tactical communication plans.
The Results
The new operating model framework was implemented, allowing the group to plan and address customer needs more effectively, providing an essential foundation to achieve its vision of becoming a world-class service provider to its customers.
