Retail

An IT operating model with the bureaucracy taken out.

Redesigned the IT operating model of a large retailer — clearing the accumulated process and governance layers that were slowing delivery, and rebuilding around modern ways of working.

The situation

Years of growth had left the retailer's IT organization wrapped in accumulated process: approval chains, overlapping governance forums, and unclear decision rights that slowed everything they touched.

What we did

  • 01Redesigned the IT operating model around modern ways of working.
  • 02Streamlined governance — fewer forums, clearer decision rights, faster paths from idea to delivery.
  • 03Cleared the bureaucratic buildup so investment capacity could shift toward transformative work.

The outcome

  • A leaner operating model with clearer accountability and materially less process overhead.
  • Faster delivery — and an organization that could spend its energy on the work instead of the workflow.
