Deal-Ready Target Operating Model
Operational Value Creation for Deal-Ready Businesses
A Target Operating Model is the blueprint of how your business generates value. It defines the systems, processes, and capabilities that enable consistent delivery, strategic execution, and autonomous decision-making across your organisation.
For transaction-ready businesses, a proven operating model demonstrates:
-
Revenue generation that isn't dependent on founder relationships
-
Quality delivery that doesn't require owner supervision
-
Decision-making frameworks that function at every operational level
-
Resource allocation that drives efficiency and protects margins
This is what lenders evaluate before extending capital. What buyers assess during due diligence. What sellers demand before accepting your offer. This is what determines your terms.
Execution trumps strategy everyday
