Stop Guessing: A Precise Diagnosis for Systemic Delivery Failure.
When budgets are tight and critical delivery is failing, the costs of second-guessing and pivoting start to spiral. Your programme isn’t failing by accident; it’s the inevitable result of managing ever more complex and tightly integrated solutions. In large organisations with hundreds or thousands of moving parts, relying on external partners, no single individual can jump in and solve the crisis. You need a specialist with battle-tested frameworks to precisely cut through the noise.
That’s where our Continuous Diagnostic Approach comes in. We apply the OODA framework: Observe, Orientate, Decide, Act; to rapidly diagnose the true delivery issue, no matter how deeply hidden it is within your system.
Observe
Rapid Data Collection: We immediately cut through assumptions by collecting empirical data on technical debt, process friction, and delivery metrics. Benefit: Stops internal arguments and establishes objective facts.
Orientate
Specialist Synthesis: We apply deep niche experience to filter the data, identify the systemic bottlenecks (not just the symptoms), and align the failure points with your strategic goals. Benefit: Clarifies the complex 'why' behind the failure.
Decide
Strategic Action Alignment: We collaboratively define the immediate, highest value actions required to stabilise delivery, creating a Prioritised, Actionable Roadmap. Benefit: Replaces paralysis with a clear, shared path forward.
Act
Kick-Off & Transition: We define the immediate next steps, ensuring your teams are ready to execute the fix with momentum and alignment. Benefit: Guarantees immediate progress and control.
What you get
You are paying for clarity, evidence, and an immediate path to stability. Our Continuous Diagnostic Approach delivers the following high-value artifacts:
-
Systemic Failure Report: A comprehensive, evidence based written analysis detailing the root cause of your delivery failure, cutting through internal assumptions to identify the specific technical, process, and organisational bottlenecks that are costing you time and budget.
-
Prioritised Actionable Roadmap: A clear, structured plan leveraging the Fast-Setie framework. This roadmap outlines the required steps to fully mitigate the core issue within the next 3 months, ensuring rapid, measurable ROI.
-
Executive Briefing & Solution Workshop: A focused presentation where we walk through the Systemic Failure Report, present the evidence for our findings, and collaboratively discuss the proposed solutions, ensuring immediate leadership alignment and commitment to the path forward.
How Long and How much?
Typically the Continuous Diagnostics Approach takes 2 weeks from the start to having all of the reports generated and evidence gathered, This is split into a week of Observing and Orientating, followed by a week of Deciding and Acting.
In some very complicated environments this process can take longer if more teams are involved. This work is delivered as a fixed-price, fixed-scope engagement and the typical 2 week engagement will cost £8,000 ex-vat
Ready to Stop Guessing and Start Fixing?
The cost of complex delivery failure rises every day. Your first step towards a precise, evidence-based solution is a zero-commitment conversation to confirm the Continuous Diagnostic Approach is the right fit for your crisis.
