What you'll learn
Why renaming departments as value streams is relabelling, not redesign, and how to tell the difference in your own organisation.
The three things that have to change in a real shift: accountability, funding, and decision rights.
Where organisations get the shift half right, and what that half-measure costs them in speed and clarity.
How the move from functions to value streams fits into the wider Strategic Value Streams approach.

The operating model shift, explained in plain terms
This 30-minute session walks through what actually changes when an organisation moves from functional departments to value streams. We start with why “just reorganise” doesn’t work, then look at the decisions that make the shift real: who is accountable for outcomes, how work is funded, and where decisions get made. You’ll leave able to spot the difference between a real operating model shift and a relabelling exercise, and you’ll take away the Operating Model Shift checklist to apply immediately. Grounded in the Strategic Value Streams Body of Knowledge.
