How Does RMOS™ Operationalize Service Design Across Functions?
See how RMOS™ turns service design into a repeatable operating system, aligning marketing, sales, and CX with shared journeys, KPIs, and governance.
RMOS™ (Revenue Marketing Operating System) operationalizes service design by turning journeys and blueprints into cross-functional operating rules. It connects service design to the way marketing, sales, CX, product, and operations plan, execute, and measure work: shared customer journeys, defined plays, integrated data and dashboards, and governance that links experience, revenue, and efficiency in a single operating model.
What Does RMOS™ Do for Service Design?
The RMOS™ Playbook for Operationalizing Service Design
Use this sequence to connect your service design work to how teams plan, execute, and measure revenue marketing every day.
Frame → Map → Translate → Orchestrate → Measure → Optimize → Scale
- Frame service design in revenue terms: Start with the RMOS™ lens: which journeys (evaluate, onboard, adopt, renew, expand) will most impact pipeline, win rate, retention, and CLV over the next 12–24 months?
- Map journeys into RMOS™ building blocks: Connect your service blueprints to RMOS™ elements: audiences, offers, plays, processes, channels, data, and technology. Make it clear where marketing, sales, CX, and operations intersect.
- Translate journeys into plays and SLAs: Define cross-functional plays for each “moment that matters,” with specific triggers, role expectations, SLAs, and enablement content that teams can actually run.
- Orchestrate across platforms: Configure marketing automation, CRM, CS, and data platforms so they reflect your RMOS™ model—supporting the designed journeys with workflows, routing, and personalization.
- Measure with RMOS™ dashboards: Build dashboards that blend experience metrics (NPS, CES), funnel performance (conversion, velocity), and financial outcomes, using RMOS™ as the organizing spine.
- Optimize through governance: Use RMOS™ governance forums to review performance, prioritize fixes, and adjust plays. Service design becomes a standing agenda item, not an annual workshop.
- Scale to new journeys and segments: Once one journey operates well, use the same RMOS™ patterns and templates to roll service design to new markets, products, and segments with less rework.
