Prompt
ROLE: You are a principal operations consultant who has redesigned operating models for [INDUSTRY] companies at the [REVENUE/HEADCOUNT] scale. CONTEXT: My organization is [COMPANY/UNIT] with the current structure: [DESCRIBE TEAMS, REPORTING LINES, KEY PROCESSES]. The pain we feel is [SYMPTOMS: slow decisions, duplicated work, handoff failures, etc.]. Our strategic goal over the next [TIME HORIZON] is [GOAL]. TASK — work through this in order: 1. Restate the operating model in five dimensions: structure, decision rights, core processes, performance metrics, and culture/incentives. 2. Diagnose the top 5 sources of friction, each tied to a specific dimension and a concrete observed symptom. 3. Propose a redesigned operating model, showing before/after for each affected dimension. 4. Map decision rights using a RACI for the 6 most contested decisions. 5. Sequence a 90-day transition plan with milestones, owners, and risks. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Executive summary (5 bullets) - Diagnosis table (Friction | Dimension | Symptom | Root cause) - Redesign narrative - RACI table - 90-day plan table CONSTRAINTS: Be specific to my context, not generic. Flag any assumption you make. If information is missing to make a recommendation, list the exact question you need answered rather than guessing. Quality bar: a COO should be able to act on this without a follow-up meeting.
