**********************************************************************
Most organisations don’t fail because their strategy is wrong. They fail because their operating model cannot sustain execution. Philip Watt works at that precise fault line, where strategy is clear, but value realisation is stalling. Through his Value Operating System (VOS), Philip focuses on the small number of structural choices that drive disproportionate impact: decision rights, governance clarity, service ownership, and capability design. Rather than redesigning everything, he identifies where operating model debt has accumulated and what to fix first.
With experience across PE-backed portfolios, asset management (£16bn AUM), regulated financial services, and multi-country integrations, Philip brings a board-level perspective to operating model clarity. His work has delivered over £300m in cumulative value, not through activity, but through structural precision.
**********************************************************
Proposed Interview Structure:
1. What originally drew you into operating model and transformation work, and how did that evolve into your current focus?
2. You often say strategy isn’t the problem, execution design is. What specific structural mistakes do you see leadership teams repeatedly make? And why does helping them matter so much to you personally?
3. Who is your ideal client today, PE sponsor, CEO, COO, and at what trigger point do they usually realise they need someone like you?
4. You operate at a very senior level. How do clients usually find you, and what has worked best for attracting the right type of complex, high-stakes engagements? Current Acquisition Channels: Referral, Content, Cold outreach Sub Question: What’s your view on podcasting as a marketing tool in the consulting and advisory space, especially for consultants working at board level?
5. Your engagements are high-value and often tied to major transformations or deals. How do you navigate the long sales cycles and build enough trust to be brought in at critical moments? 6. Once you’ve delivered clarity on the operating model, how do you ensure clients keep coming back and build long-term relationships with you?
7. Where do you find yourself most stuck right now as an independent operating model consultant, if at all?
8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunities for your work over the next few years?
