Phase 02
Priority mapping
We rank intervention opportunities by leverage and feasibility so you commit scope to the right problems — not the loudest ones.
What we need from you
Inputs for this phase
- 01Diagnostic outputs and agreed problem framing from phase 01
- 02Business constraints: budget bands, timeline, and regulatory context
- 03Dependency map across teams, vendors, and technical platforms
- 04Risk appetite for experimentation versus production-grade delivery
What you receive
Deliverables from this phase
- A prioritised backlog of initiatives with rationale for sequencing
- Explicit deferral list with conditions for revisiting lower-priority work
- High-level effort and dependency view suitable for planning and resourcing
- Success criteria draft for top-priority items
Checkpoints
Decision gates
1Stakeholder workshop to stress-test prioritisation logic
2Sponsor confirmation that deferred items are consciously accepted
3Agreement on definition of “done” for the first delivery slice
Safeguards
Risk & scope controls
Guardrails against scope creep before delivery commitment
Transparent trade-off articulation when speed and depth conflict
Option to pause if new material constraints invalidate ranking assumptions
Start a discovery
Most engagements begin with a conversation about context.
We do not send a proposal before we understand the problem. Start by telling us about your decision context — we will identify the highest-leverage intervention areas before any scope is agreed.
