Operating Model And Owners

When to use

Reach for this when a plan could stall on unclear ownership. It maps roles and decision rights, sets a governance and review cadence, and flags capability gaps to fill, so the board knows exactly who is accountable and how progress will be steered.

Instructions

1. Map the key delivery roles and what each is accountable for.
2. Define decision rights: who decides, who is consulted, who is informed.
3. Set the governance cadence and the forum where progress is reviewed.
4. Identify capability or capacity gaps and how they will be filled.
5. State the single executive sponsor accountable to the board.

Example prompts

• "Define the operating model, decision rights, and governance for delivering this plan."
• "Who owns what, and what's the review cadence to keep this strategy on track?"

Output

An accountability map plus decision-rights definitions, a governance cadence, and a capability-gap list.
