What is an operating model?

Writer: Chris KirkChris Kirk

Updated: Jan 2

An operating model is a single overview of what your school trust does, and how it does it.  The different elements of your trust, such as your approach to school improvement, are pieces of the jigsaw. The operating model gives you the picture on the front of the box.


In this way, it makes the vital link between your vision, mission and strategy, and the details of individual roles, policies and activities.  It also provides a connection from support services (such as HR or finance) to core educational services. 


By getting your operating model right, you make sure you spend your time and money on what really matters, aiming always towards better impact in the classroom. 


CJK has supported many trusts to refine their operating models using surveys, real-world detailed benchmarking data, workshops, deep sector knowledge and facilitation.
