Global Utility – Operating Model Redesign

The Challenge

The Company required the declination and implementation of its group 2021–2024 operating model across Waste & Water operations. The programme had to translate the group's strategic vision into operational fundamentals —covering business segmentation, standard times, industrial maintenance, KPIs, and management rituals at every level.​

The Methodology

  • Operating model design — group vision translated to operational fundamentals​.
  • Gains translation — all levers quantified in € and/or FTE​.
  • Operating standards — segmentation, standard times, contract modelling​.
  • Industrial maintenance — traceability, curative rate control, CMMS​.
  • KPIs & rituals — 50+ indicators, cost matrix, single management tool​.
  • Performance management rituals deployed at every operational level​.

The Results

  • Group strategy converted into a common set of operating fundamentals, applied consistently across every business unit.
  • Business segmented by operations, maintenance, and customer activity. Standard times defined and integrated into centralized planning.
  • Full maintenance framework-built equipment traceability, control of unplanned interventions, and standard task libraries embedded in the maintenance management system.
  • Complete KPI framework built, linking every operational indicator to its financial value and converting contract P&L targets into shop floor objectives.
  • One management system across all sites, with structured problem solving and improvement routines run by operators themselves.
