Into the Beyond
In this book so far, you have learned about the fundamentals of an operating model, been given a technology landscape overview, and read about previous industry attempts to bring structure to operating models. We then leaned into why the future is distributed and the different classifications of edge computing environments, before we presented a step-by-step guide on how to purpose-build your own operating model. To solidify what we have learned, we provided an implementation example based on an anonymized case study to help you apply the learnings in your organization.
In this chapter, we will cover the following additional topics:
- Operating models for multiple independent operating units across the globe
- Antifragility
- Gap analysis
- Technical debt
- Undifferentiated heavy lifting
- How to measure progress
- Challenges associated with creating and applying your operating model
- Managing a multitude of options
By the end of this...
