Scope this for your teamBuilding next-generation IT Operating Models in EU
We help IT organizations assess, simplify and redesign their operating models for modern ways of working, increasing automation and AI. Many operating models underperform because they are too complex, disconnected from business strategy, or simply too difficult to understand and communicate.
Einar & Partners combine assessment, benchmarking and clear visual storytelling to turn the operating model into something leadership and teams can understand, challenge and improve. The goal is not a perfect diagram. It is a practical model that helps people make better decisions.
The strongest operating models don't start with technology or organization charts. They start with how the organization creates value, then align IT services, governance, capabilities and teams around supporting it.

Where we work within the IT Operating Model
Clients rarely come to us asking for an “IT Operating Model.” They come with a governance, regulation, ownership or architecture challenge. We co-create solutions across multiple areas while strengthening the operating model behind.
Governance & Ownership
Service Governance · CMDB Governance · AI & Data Governance We define what it means to own data, systems, services and AI capabilities, bridging business, architecture and operations.
Portfolio's & Service Models
Application Portfolios · Service Portfolios · Technology Portfolios · Service Models & Taxonomy We structure portfolios around cost, performance, lifecycle and business value, using models people can understand and maintain.
Data Models, Frameworks & Architecture Standards
CSDM · IT4IT · TBM · ArchiMate · BIAN We help apply the right models and standards pragmatically, creating structures that can actually be governed and sustained. We benchmark your models against European industry average based on proprietary data.
AI-Ready IT Operations
Context Layer · Observability · AIOps · Autonomous IT Evolve the operating model so AI can understand, support and increasingly act within IT operations.
