Outcomes Clarity

Accelerate short and longer term results by defining and aligning to the full potential, articulated in clear, compelling end-states.  Teams align and contribute to these outcomes and iterate efforts to refine their approach and recalibrate resources.  Outcomes enable communication and coordination throughout the organisation and its ecosystem of partners.

Optimised Benefits/Value

Accelerate by simplifying prioritisation through correct benefit and valuation disciplines which enable comparability between investments and over time. The most important benefits are not always financial, and target values are not always budgets.  Clarity and consistency of benefits and value are key components of the transformation infrastructure.

A core experienced team

Being adaptive is a holistic, organisational trait.  The ability to respond to market changes and execution progress.

Enabled by the core team who facilitate across all initiatives to anchor against outcomes, ensure a clear fact base, and refine by test-and-learn.  Adaptive governance teams are active, frequently revalidating priorities and delivery timing/sequence to optimise productivity.  

Govern & Drive

Help governance teams accelerate by tightening the gap between value and product delivery through well-equipped, devolved and active governance teams. These teams prioritise towards performance over compliance, and maintain an enterprise customer view. A true outcome focus enables a clear line of sight to drive accountability through both the investment and product lifecycles.

Capability’s role is typically framed as board advisory, governance member coaching, operating model design, strategic planning, or facilitating enterprise PMOs.

Prioritise & Sequence

Help governance teams accelerate via clearer delineation through pipeline from product qualification, to investment valuation and then transparent benefit/KPI realisation. Change delivery and product development teams are assisted by enterprise-level facilitation such that prioritisation recognises market/competitive position.

Capability’s role typically creates or optimises business cases, investment management practices, operational planning, better use of (external) fact base, and tightening of pipeline disciplines.

Manage & Sustain

Help delivery teams accelerate results via programs to deliver the most valuable outcomes, typically across multiple divisions, and almost always across multiple product/service lines. Establish an environment for teams to be successful by aligning preferred ways of working with what is being built (i.e. outputs/products) and what is being achieved (i.e. outcomes). 

Capability’s role is typically labelled as program management, program design, transformation office support, project management or change facilitation.

Adapt & Deliver

Help delivery teams accelerate through fit-for-purpose project or product delivery methodologies, ensuring activities contribute to outcomes. An adaptive culture that translates learning into productivity and creates opportunities for people’s development.  The approach should acknowledge different teams need different rhythms.

Capability’s role is typically labelled target operating model design, digital product development, or business simplification before digitising or process standardisation.
