ORBIT ™
A Tiered Operating Model for Expert-Driven IT Delivery
At Averroa, we believe successful IT delivery requires more than process. It requires curated talent orchestration — the right minds, at the right altitude, at the right time.
ORBIT™ is a tiered, role-based operating model that orchestrates the right minds at the right altitude at the right time. Partners set direction and hold the executive relationship; Principals own outcomes and standards; Senior Consultants run the day cadence; Consultants build. Engagements are staffed dynamically through our TalentHub and governed by a clear delivery cycle from initiation to handover.
Averroa ORBIT™ is not just a staffing structure. It’s a philosophy:
Value is delivered by structuring expertise — not by burning hours.
Role Charters & Commitments
The ORBIT™ Framework is integrated into the DRIVE™ framework to ensure the best outcome. Check out Averroa DRIVE™ Framework first to understand how it works together.
- Partner (non-equity): 10+ yrs. Strategic sponsor; protects scope/intent; appears at milestones/escalations; manages executive trust.
- Principal: 10+ yrs. Owns outcomes and standards; leads senior staff; weekly client interface; signs off handover.
- Senior Consultant: 5–10 yrs. Runs the day cadence (stand-ups, triage, demos), integrates workstreams, and mentors.
- Consultant: 3–5 yrs. Builds/configures/tests; documents evidence for acceptance; full-time hands-on.
L = Leads || A = Accountable || S = Supports & Execute || I = Informed
| DRIVE / Roles | Partner | Principal | Senior Consultant | Consultant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Design | A/S | L | S | I |
| Run | I | A | L | S |
| Improve | I | A | L | S |
| Validate | S | L/A | S | S |
| Expand | L/A | S | S | I |
Why this is special at Averroa – Internal Advantages
- Altitude-based timeboxing: Senior time is surgical, not performative; we concentrate Partner/Principal attention only where it maximises leverage.
- TalentHub elasticity (without body-shopping): Principals can pull exact skills, just-in-time, to keep burn low and velocity high.
- One language across tracks: The same cadence, gates, and artefacts apply to R&I → Execution → Rescue, making hand-offs frictionless.
- Method harmony: ORBIT™ plugs cleanly into DRIVE™ so roles, ceremonies, and KPIs line up by phase — no “activity acceptance,” only benefit acceptance.
Operating KPIs we watch – Inside the team
- Decision latency ↓ (risk raised → decision made).
- Adoption & benefits ↑ (users active, hours saved, OTIF/forecast deltas in Validate).
- Schedule variance ↓ / MTTR (Mean Time To Repair/Restore/Resolve) ↓ (Rescue scorecard).
- Senior leverage ↑ (milestone attainment ↑ while Partner/Principal hours stay lean).
