IICS begins by asking
What operating model is creating fragmentation, and how must the system change?
The aim is to reduce the risk of solving the wrong problem well.
What needs to change
The goal is not more activity. It is a different system of response.
The intended value is a change in system quality and decision quality.
Strategy
Local priorities → One shared marketing logic
A controlled transformation, not a guaranteed outcome.
Operating model
Fragmented roles → Clear ownership and interfaces
A controlled transformation, not a guaranteed outcome.
Workflow
Disconnected handoffs → Coordinated ways of working
A controlled transformation, not a guaranteed outcome.
Measurement
Reporting silos → Evidence that improves decisions
A controlled transformation, not a guaranteed outcome.
