Overview

Peter Boggis has over 25 years’ experience of helping major corporations transform their business and IT Operating Models for increased business value. In particular, he specialises in helping clients to build innovation, collaboration and portfolio management capabilities as a source of increased organisational strength.

He pioneered a process-based approach to IS in the early 1990s and has worked on a number of research projects over the past 15 years. Peter was deeply involved in developing the theory and practice of Business Reengineering, working closely with James Champy (author of Reengineering The Corporation) on a number of groundbreaking assignments.

Peter is based in the UK and has supported clients in Europe, the USA, Asia, Australia and Africa.

Expertise

Peter’s area of expertise is firmly in Operating Model strategy and he has supported organisations in Europe, the USA, Asia, Australia and Africa. Typical assignments have included: business and IS Operating Models; shared services; service management; sourcing strategies; ERP strategy and implementation; portfolio management; enterprise architecture; innovation and collaboration. He is also highly experienced in designing and delivering tailored Experiential Learning Journeys as one way of increasing the top management team’s capabilities.

Peter can provide advice, support and insight if you are:

• Leading a major transformation programme and want to increase its chances of success.
• Striving to balance ‘dedicated and specific’ business processes with the enterprise demands for increased synergies.
• Exploring ways in which the organisation can be more innovative and collaborative (inside and outside) and want to get started in a practical way.
• Building a portfolio of initiatives – for prioritisation for the most business benefit.
• Keen to develop both the individual and collective leadership capabilities of a top team – through a tailored Experiential Learning Journey to provide powerful insights and a fast-track to early breakthroughs.
• Eager to re-balance the ‘bottom-up’ ITIL approach to service management with a ‘top-down’ strategic framework – and align everyone around the same vision of success.
