Global Operating Models & Operational Excellence

For organisations running, or planning, teams across countries and time zones.

Questions we help answer

If one of these sounds familiar, we should talk.

  • We want to set up a team in India or another offshore location. Which model fits us?
  • Our offshore team delivers, but quality and ownership are uneven. What should change?
  • How should we split work between onshore and offshore teams?
  • How do we measure productivity in a distributed team fairly?

What we do

Global operating model design
Decide what work sits where, which model suits you (own centre, partner or hybrid) and how locations connect.
Distributed team strategy
Set up the roles, rituals, tools and overlap hours that make remote and cross-border teams work as one.
Delivery governance frameworks
Put in place the reviews, metrics and escalation paths that give leaders visibility without micromanagement.
Resource and capacity planning
Match people and skills to demand, and plan hiring or partner capacity ahead of time.
Productivity improvement
Find where time is lost to handoffs, rework and waiting, and fix the causes rather than the symptoms.
Operational performance advisory
Review service levels, cost and quality across locations and agree a plan to improve them.
