Target Operating Model
Understand and be prepared for the Future
Do you question which costs and investments create or enable a point of differentiation?
Do you want to explore a new vision for finance or want to bring your organization closer to the best in class?
Do you want to transform your value proposition into real tangible and actionable results?
Traditional finance models will not enable you to be flexible enough to keep pace with the accelerating speed of changes in the market. This speed changes the role of the CFO to focus on both short-term and long-term impact and strategy consequences.
Finance leaders face increasing pressure to transition to an operating model that is more data-driven, adaptable, and fluid. To seamlessly access people, processes, and systems from anywhere warrant flexibility to deal with uncertainty.
An adaptive data-driven model requires out of the box thinking, pragmatism, and broad transformation of the culture, people, processes, and supporting systems with a sound proven method to identify and tackle issues and improvement areas early.
“We know where we are and where we want to be. The challenge is how to get there, what do we priority first? What capability is important and how do we align the organization?”

Service Delivery Model Strategies
Optimize the Finance function
Do you feel stakeholders are not getting the most value from the organization?
Are you seeking to reduce costs, complexity, and improve the efficiency of the Finance function?
Do you have pressure to release the money, resources, and capability?
Traditional Service Delivery Models focused on reducing the end-to-end Finance Back office processing costs.
Today's Service Delivery Models are no longer just about cost-cutting. They become mainstream business strategies to reduce internal organization complexity, be the foundation for redesign towards being more agile, and repeatedly create value beyond cost reduction.
Agile Shared Services delivery is only achieved with the right Service Delivery Model (SDM) Strategy. A strategy that takes on a more holistic approach. It considering cross functions, leveraging digital automation to run the end-to-end processes, location strategies, and focus on strong governance and collaboration.
Only then the value can be captured repeatedly. It also takes into consideration the in-house vs outsourcing mix, benefits, and risks.
The new SMD also entails the infrastructure set-up to support a larger number of processes and services across functions within the company to achieve economies of scale and better customer value.
We start by defining the guiding principles for your new SDM strategy. Next, we evaluate your existing SDM and provide improvement options, including digital automation impact, mitigating risks, the business case, and a detailed roadmap to make the change happen.
Together we define the SDM strategy and make your organization more flexible, scalable, cost-efficient, and equipped with an effective platform for delivering finance and business enabling processes that will support your overall growth strategy and reduce your internal complexity.
As all strategies are as good as them getting implemented, we will ensure to implement them in the right way to get the most value out of the SDM strategy for you.
