All servicesRegional operating model planning.
Plan which responsibilities stay at headquarters, which sit in the region and how shared services support both, including for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
A regional operation depends on decisions and services from both local management and headquarters. We plan that division of work for a new operation, an acquired business, or a change to an existing model. The assignment covers local responsibilities, central approvals, and the shared services the region will need.
Planning for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland includes a separate set of operating questions for each country. Local management supplies the business requirements; qualified advisers address employment, corporate, tax, and regulatory matters. Their conclusions set constraints for the model and identify what must happen before the regional activity can begin.
What the work covers.
- Define the regional business activities and headquarters expectations
- Map responsibilities across local management and central functions
- Identify dependencies that need local information or specialist advice
- Compare regional management and shared-service options
- Prepare the implementation sequence and management review requirements
