From initiative to realised benefit, in four steps

This is how the ValueSpoc platform works day to day, shown on one worked example.

1Align

Every initiative knows the goal it serves.

Goal and expected contribution sit in the goal hierarchy from the start, with the benefits the initiative promises.

Create a strategic initiative

TitleSpeed up service processes
GoalRaise customer satisfaction
ObjectiveLead time under 5 days
Benefit2,400 fewer hours of processing time per year
The form for a new strategic initiative
2Structure

Delivery stays connected to the strategy.

Programmes and projects grow out of the initiative, with as much structure as the work needs. Budget and schedule are kept on the work itself.

Turn it into portfolio and projects

3Steer

The report is a by-product of the work.

Status reports pass through approval, risks and dependencies are held against the initiative, decisions are logged. The reporting calendar generates its dates from your configuration.

The outcome is the benefit the initiative was approved for.

Plan, forecast and actual per benefit, every measurement with a source and a four-eyes check. If the forecast falls behind, the decision is due.
