Automate your operating model
Create a seamless flow from new ideas to services, ensure focus on the right things, deliver optimised time-to-value and run efficient service operations.
Every organisation needs to rethink their operating model for the future. However, it’s simply unfair to deploy a new operating model without automation. People should be allowed to focus on analysis and decision-making at work and let technology take care of the boring stuff.
Why you should automate your operating model
The core idea of operating model automation is to minimise the manual work caused by disconnected tools and fragmented ways of working – in practical terms, to get rid of copying and pasting data from one place to another. A seamless flow in digital tools ensures that your people have all the data they need in the right context, and that decisions are followed by automated actions.
In a nutshell, here’s why automation is crucial to a successful operating model reformation:
- Connect all demand and development to business strategy and goals.
- Accelerate time-to-value.
- Create full transparency and traceability from new ideas to operational services as well as feedback loops based on actual user experience.

How operating model automation should be done
The fundamental idea in operating model automation is that organisations should not design their operating model, train their people and develop tools as separate projects or tracks. These need to be delivered in full synchronisation and as one project.
Moreover, you want to learn from the opportunities ServiceNow provides for your operating model while designing it. Training your people should cover not just new roles and responsibilities, but also how ServiceNow will empower the same. And ServiceNow should make following the new operating model so intuitive that no user guides and instructions are needed.
