Airport Target Operating Model – (ATOM)
A cornerstone for improving the efficiency and delivering against the many changing needs involved in running an airport is to have a clear vision and strategy. Applying your strategy to your business or operational area is the next step, so understanding and developing the most effective operating model is a fundamental building block for improving the overall productivity. In other words, structure follows strategy.
Airport operating models should follow some standard principles and if developed in the right way will help airports understand the key competencies required by each department or function. In turn, this will enable airports to develop the most appropriate and optimal organisational design (including people, process and technology) to deliver against the strategic intent.
