Pmo Delivery Model

[Kimberly Ballas]

Whenbusinesses strive to improve efficiency and deliver high-quality products and services while maximizing profit, their service delivery model is one of the first lines of business they look at to drive such improvements.

Transforming service delivery processes can be tricky, but it can also result in significant innovation that substantially improves profit margins. Think about the technological advancements that have streamlined product manufacturing, enabling manufacturers to produce vastly more products while maintaining a level of quality that delights customers.

In this article, we will first examine the basics and benefits of the modern service delivery model. We will also run through some examples of efficient and optimized service delivery models to help you understand how to apply proven concepts to your business.

A services delivery model is a business framework of interrelated processes involved in providing a service and the interactions between the service provider and the customer throughout the business relationship. It utilizes technological advancements and improved operational systems and policies to cater to diverse sectors: education, healthcare, financial, you name it.

Effective service delivery models allow businesses to provide the services their customers want or need at a profitable price and an acceptable level of quality. A service delivery model also makes it possible to add value for the customer through consistent processes, policies, procedures, and limitations that guide the delivery of services and interactions between the provider and customer for the duration of the business relationship.

Another example is that general business consulting services provide clients with the necessary training and information to fuel growth. They can also assist in content creation, human resources, and financial processes. A real estate service model can help customers look for residential or commercial properties while coordinating inspections and contracts.

The short answer: for the same reasons you invest in new technology. Developing and maintaining an effective service delivery model helps companies keep up with advancements in execution that can improve business processes. It is akin to a template that helps ensure your services consistently meet (or beat) customer expectations. A practical model can also help reduce operational costs and contribute to a more seamless business operation.

With a proven service delivery model, you will have a set of standards, policies, and principles for your company to follow. You will also be able to see potential bottlenecks and limitations in service delivery that could hinder you from achieving your goals. Additionally, such models can help your company outperform its competitors by allowing you to allocate your staff and resources more effectively.

Building an efficient and effective service delivery model involves four primary elements: service culture, employee engagement, service quality, and customer experience. While these elements are interrelated, service culture is foundational.

It is always about the client. Every service delivery model you build has to be client-centric. It is not about wowing clients with the latest technologies (though that can help) but meeting their needs in a way that makes them feel understood and supported.

Far too often, a business in a slump looks at its products and people. Usually, business success comes faster, more efficiently, and more thoroughly with a thorough evaluation of services, ensuring you have a proven, scalable, and customer-focused service delivery model in place.

A service delivery model is a framework or approach that an organization uses to provide its products or services to customers or clients. It should outline the processes, methods and strategies an organization must follow in order to deliver its services effectively, efficiently and in accordance with company goals and objectives. These include what the service offering actually is, what resources the organization needs to allocate to support service delivery, quality standards, cost structure and more.

In an era marked by continuous innovation and evolving customer preferences, the service industry is in a state of transformation. Thanks to the proliferation of digital technology and the internet, customers expect convenient, effective and highly personalized service. This has compelled providers to embrace a new approach to service delivery, one that leverages multiple delivery channels to meet the diverse needs and demands of customers.

The new delivery model (NDM) is the cornerstone of the new common agricultural policy (CAP) that entered into force on 1 January 2023. It represents a shift towards a strong focus on performance and results, and a rebalancing of responsibilities between EU countries and the Commission, while maintaining the robust assurance system on the CAP expenditure. The NDM takes the needs of each EU country into account and gives them ample room to shape the agricultural policy. While the NDM recognises the specificities of EU countries, it also ensures commonality amongst them.

The foundation of the new delivery model are the EU countries CAP Strategic Plans and their well-functioning governance systems. The aim of the CAP Strategic Plans is that EU countries design and target their interventions to address specific needs, at the same time delivering on EU-level objectives.

With the new delivery model, the CAP shifted from a compliance-based model to a performance-based model with a more streamlined approach that sets targets for the policy as a whole and aims at achieving the results by taking into account country-specific needs.

Therefore, a less detailed set of rules at EU level has been laid down, allowing EU countries to strive towards common EU objectives through their own CAP Strategic Plans that suit better their national and regional contexts.

The CAP legislation has now a common set of indicators for a performance, monitoring and evaluation framework. The indicators will be monitored through annual performance reports to assess the progress of EU countries in reaching their targets and the objectives of the CAP.

In an annual performance clearance exercise, the Commission will check if EU countries expenditure is matched by the realised outputs, while in a multiannual perspective, EU countries achievements of milestones and targets towards results will be followed up.

This focus on the policy performance will also be reflected in the new approach to assurance. As the EU legislation will no longer define detailed compliance rules at the beneficiary level, performance at the national level will be the new source of assurance for the implementation of the CAP.

When EU countries are not on track with their performance, the Commission will work closely with them through action plans to bring performance back on track and to ensure the CAP delivers on the EU-wide objectives. There is also the possibility to suspend the reimbursement from the Union budget to the EU country if the action plan is not implemented or if it is manifestly insufficient to remedy the situation.

With the new delivery model, EU countries can customise the support to agriculture based on their needs and the needs of their farmers in view of fulfilling the objectives of the CAP. This also allows reducing the complexity and administrative burden.

In the new delivery model, the EU legislation sets the basic policy parameters (objectives of the CAP, broad types of intervention, basic requirements), while EU countries are bearing greater responsibility and will enjoy more flexibility as to how they meet the objectives and achieve agreed targets.

You can, of course, dispute to which IT delivery model a certain model belongs. We made a choice in this book regarding which models we place in which group of IT delivery models. This is necessary for clarity and the ability to describe our Quality & Testing approach. We give the two most common models per IT delivery model:

A Hybrid (or Blended or Bi-model) approach is the combination or integration of two separate but coherent development models. One model focused on predictability and the other on exploration. The first model is optimized for areas that are well-understood and well-known. The second model is optimized for areas of uncertainty. Combining a more predictable evolution of products and technologies with new and innovative ones is the essence of a hybrid approach. The combinations are not fixed.
