Target Operating Model (TOM)

Structure Efficient and Scalable Operating Models

A Target Operating Model (TOM) defines how an organization should function to align strategy, processes, technology, and resources for maximum efficiency. At M2P, we tailor TOM frameworks to help businesses optimize operations, reduce complexity, and ensure scalability. Our expertise spans aviation, logistics, and infrastructure, where TOM plays a crucial role in streamlining workflows, improving governance, and enhancing service delivery. By shifting from fragmented, inefficient structures to an integrated, future-proof model, companies gain agility, transparency, and resilience in an evolving market.

The Need for a Smarter Operating Model

Is your organization facing roadblocks that slow down efficiency and growth? Many companies struggle with these challenges:

Decentralized and
inconsistent planning

Fragmented processes lead to inefficiencies, delays, and a lack of coordination in daily operations.

Lack of transparency

Limited oversight of resource allocation, decision-making, and execution results in misalignment.

Rigid structures

Inflexible organizational frameworks make it difficult to adapt to evolving and dynamic business environments.

High operational costs

Inefficient processes drive up expenses, reduce profitability, and hinder cost-effective scaling.

Compliance and
risk management

Difficulties to align with regulatory requirements increase operational risks and potential legal challenges.
