How it is Delivered

We deliver our service using these core principals; achieve solutions fast, progress in a ‘planned and agile manner’, do only what is needed, and keeping an eye on the future. Using a 5 stage process:

1. Rapid Resolution Analysis

  • Rapid analysis is conducted within days across the areas of the solution blueprint. From this, priority redress areas and candidates for digital solutions are identified.

2. Turnaround Plan & Delivery Roadmap

  • These priority solutions form the basis of the initial turnaround plan and delivery roadmap.

  • Using this basis, candidates are subject to a fast cost-benefit analysis to provide clarity on the degree of investment required. Recalibrating prioritisation as needed.

  • Timelines are applied to form the turnaround roadmap. Supported by critical success KPIs. Stages 1 & 2 usually happens in four weeks.

3. Delivery of Priority Fixes

  • DWG delivery expertise is deployed to execute the priority candidates. Using our experience fixes are successfully delivered while ensuring the ‘future state’ is not dramatically compromised.

  • Central governance and a ‘war room’ is deployed to de-risk activities, speed-up decision making and control the success of the delivery phase.

  • Delivery activities are conducted through ‘agile sprints’ and effective cross-functional working practices to drive performance improvements quickly.

4. Measured & Iterated

  • While the focus of the programme is about speed, critical-success KPIs are used to allow the measurement of success or identify the need for iteration. Baking adaptability into the overall approach.

  • This also provides critical insight to develop the long-term transformational plan once business turnaround happens.

5. Long-Term Digital Transformation Plan

  • As improvements are felt, and digital benefits are seen, work begins on creating a business plan with effective digital capabilities built in for the future.

  • DWG strategy expertise guides the organisation in the development of this longer-term digital transformation plan.
