Recently our IT division moved to the Gartner coined Target Operating Model Mode 1 & Mode 2. Are there other peers out there that have adopted this operating model? I am curious because our teams are working through this change now and there are many questions but few answers to things like alignment to agile, roles, titles etc.
Many organizations have adopted Gartner's Mode 1 and Mode 2 Target Operating Model, but specific implementations, including alignment to Agile and role/title changes, can vary widely based on individual company needs and contexts. Seeking insights from industry peers and best practices can help navigate this transition effectively.
