The Lighthouse Operating System 2025

Organizations naturally have different starting points in their journey to operational excellence, depending on which industry they come from, what their core business goals are and how mature their operational capabilities are. The Lighthouse OS combines operational excellence, digital transformation and sustainability through its five- step maturity model (Figure 3) where the experience and best practices of leading companies are mapped against and codified into the five capability maturity levels. The governing logic is that each capability builds on the previous one, forming a foundation for the next while ensuring the long-term sustainability of the one before. Together with the data from verified use cases, this creates pathways of capability development in a systematic way that can easily be understood. These pathways within the framework are practical and solution-focused: rather than focus on predefined technologies, they describe the capabilities necessary to be successful. This ensures that the OS will remain valid and robust for the foreseeable future through updates to the capabilities and community feedback.2.3 Five levels of operational maturity to Lighthouse excellence The Lighthouse Operating System: Driving Responsible Transformation 12
