Organisations can choose a sensible sourcing model and still struggle if ownership, support boundaries and everyday processes remain ambiguous.

Making an IT operating model work after the slide deck
An anonymised professional project about service ownership, internal and external teams, transition and the operational detail between them.
Work with leadership and operational stakeholders on internal, outsourced and hybrid responsibilities, Joiner / Mover / Leaver flows, service ownership and transition decisions.
The work helped turn strategic direction into a practical operating model and clearer basis for transition. Identifying organisational and commercial details are omitted.

Engineering beyond the diagram
Operating-model work is technical when it reaches the points where access, onboarding, escalation, platforms and suppliers meet. My contribution has included technical consultancy and service-design input alongside wider leadership, project and operational teams.
The example remains qualitative and anonymised. It does not claim sole delivery or disclose client, employer or supplier information.
Notes to future me
What this project is teaching me.
- Responsibility gaps appear at the boundaries between teams.
- A service design needs an operational life, not just approval.
