ProductOEM: PRODUCT OPERATING & ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Making Strategy and Execution a single word.

Stratecution (verb) stra-te-CUU-shun

Definition: The act of implementing ProductOEM. A framework designed for leaders across all industries seeking to create cohesion between their strategy and execution in a way that achieves adapability at a lower cost without introducing complexity.

Common usage:  Somehow nothing seems to work out as planned and our deliveries always fall short of expectations, so we have decided to stratecute our entire approach. 

Synonyms: simplification at scale, achieving purpose, organisational agility.

ProductOEM is about helping you ensure that ALL parts of your organisation and policies work together, by curating decades worth of industry experience. 

Product

Drawing on years of large-scale technical product delivery experience, these proven methods can successfully apply to non-technical product and service delivery too.

Operating

The Operating Model includes the essential building blocks every organisation must consider for its delivery structure, often overlooked in other training courses.

Engagement

Clearly structured and supported engagement practises and communcation channels bring clarity, innovation, trust and quality.

Models

Your context and goals are specific, but the tools, templates and framework principles work for all.

Breaking down challenges that at times felt very hard to solve for our team, and creating spaces and conversations to find viable solutions and experiment different, complementary approaches is how this approach helped us

Is ProductOEM Right for You?

ProductOEM provides a comprehensive skeleton that helps leaders see and build their organisation holistically, recognise the interconnections, and provides practical direction on how to affect change. As a result it can be used in a number of scenarios.

The company functions brilliantly when it's smaller, but now it's in a period of growth and needs to find ways to scale that means it doesn't fall into a trap of creating more silos, causing teams to feel disconnected and adding complexity to delivery.

Perhaps your company has been growing organically over time, with multiple changes in strategic direction. What you now have are cumbersome processes that don't seem to serve anyones interests. You need simpler ways to get things done but are nervous to make changes as you don't fully undertand what the downstream impacts might be. 

We see this time and again, where there is a notable hand-off between the two worlds of Business and Technology. Perhaps the structure of your product/services no longer make sense and simply bridging the gap isn't enough. The various departments need to be part of the same system. Not only do they need an environment in which to collaborate but also one where they can co-create.

Many agile transformations focus on the formation of small teams and then are frustrated because of the misalignment to other parts of the organisation, which limits the impact and advantages that agility could bring. The agile ways of working need to be housed in a sympathetic operating model which provide structures and processes that helps the teams to flourish and the benfits to be felt.
