Modus Enterprise Transformation Platform (ETP) Overview​
Transformation As Usual (TAU) Hub and Core Transformation Features
Any seasoned Transformation professional is likely to agree (at least in private) that transformation is something of a super-human task because of its inherent complexity. Understandably, many resort to program and project management solutions (PPM) to try to establish and hold all the threads together, including activities, time, cost and risk. But this still does not link and manage the customer, product, market, financial, systems and organisational interdependencies in one multi-faceted masterpiece. It does not visualise, link and express these in value chains and operating models so that the resultant agenda for change defines every input, output and cause-and-effect logic.
  • In other words, ensuring that every aspect of each dimension is connected in terms of impact logic (cause and effect), mapped onto, and linked with, methods, processes, resources, ways of working and capabilities. If this is omitted or poorly executed
  • Failure is written into the transformation from day one. Fail to plan (absolutely every element) – you plan to fail! The risk of everything falling apart progressively is in direct proportion to the quality of that initial integration.
  • The key driver of success is the degree to which you can achieve true centralisation and integration between thousands of moving parts across all initiatives and projects to deliver the required changes to business and operating models.
  • Modus ETP provides a hub that acts as a focal point for transformation delivery and ongoing optimisation and change. A portal to the collective knowledge and change resources that will enable an organisation to build and sustain its transformation ecosystem and competence over time - we call it 'Transformation as Usual - TAU'.
Modus Transformation As Usual Introduction

​In any Business sector we must respond to the need for ongoing change (call it transformation as usual – TAU), and therefore the organisation needs to be ‘change capable’ and ‘change oriented’. This requires quick, easy access to every facet of models, processes, training, documentation, and ways of working that we have created in your original transformation. In other words, a knowledge centre or hub responsive to the need for sustained change. This is a living, breathing foundational ecosystem designed to flex and change with need as the business and operating models respond to the ever-present forces of external disruption.
