Build defensible business cases and establish accountability for realizing projected financial and operational benefits. * Partner with business leaders to define multi-year transformation priorities, roadmaps, and sequencing aligned to strategic objectives. * Apply first-principles thinking to challenge legacy processes, identify root causes, and unlock step-change improvements. 2. Target Operating Model Design & Business Architecture * Lead the design of future-state Target Operating Models across organization, process, technology, data, governance, and workforce dimensions. * Develop functional architectures that connect business capabilities, processes, applications, data domains, and organizational structures. * Assess current-state operating models to establish baselines, identify pain points, and quantify improvement opportunities. * Conduct structured gap analyses and prioritize initiatives based on business impact, feasibility, and strategic value. * Define governance frameworks, decision rights, controls, and risk management mechanisms that enable sustainable transformation. 3.
