Understand. Transform. Embed.
Understand
1 — Frame. Align the challenge, scope, responsibilities and approach to measurement.
Is the challenge precise, backed by a sponsor and observable?
Expected output
Mission charter, hypotheses, measurement agreement
2 — Observe. Bring together field experience, customer journeys and available data.
Do we have enough evidence to make a diagnosis?
Expected output
Journey map and evidence register
3 — Diagnose. Distinguish symptoms from causes and estimate the value of possible improvements.
Which causes and opportunities justify action?
Expected output
Map of value leakage and opportunities; scenarios
Transform
4 — Design. Choose useful, feasible interventions with your teams.
Is the option useful, fundable, acceptable and feasible?
Expected output
Prioritised portfolio, target model, experiment briefs
5 — Experiment. Test in a real setting, measure and decide before extending.
Do the observations justify extending the initiative?
Expected output
Pilot results, limitations, decision to stop / adapt / extend
Embed
6 — Deploy. Organise scaling, responsibilities and the transfer of practices.
Can the organisation replicate the approach without compromising quality?
Expected output
Playbooks, deployment plan and adoption tracking
7 — Sustain. Verify that benefits last and teams can operate independently.
Are the gains sustained and the teams autonomous?
Expected output
Validated value register, handover and sustainment plan
At every step: facts, a decision, an accountable person and a next action.
