At the time of a business merger, companies of course face a number of expected upheavals. To ensure that the impact is minimized, one has to get the operating tool right. An operating model design is comprised of processes, structures and the people. The structure involves the roles and responsibilities, governance patterns, permeable boundaries and the axes of organizational structure. People includes the informal network, the talent management systems, skills, culture and the size of the workforce. The process is comprised of its design, linkages, performance management and the technology being uses. While designing this entire operating process, one has to start by building a baseline, that will help align the priorities. Then the preliminary end- state design needs to be developed. Interim models and plans come thereafter. After all this is done, the company needs to stabilize, integrate and transform.
