Value By Design (VBD)
Markets expecations are growing rapidly. Your instinct might be to try to meet those expectations by squeezing more from the existing structure - optimising departments or cutting costs within silos. But you can't achieve significant improvement by tweaking your existing structures. You need to move beyond managing “boxes and lines” and focus on how value flows across your organisation.
"When you try to implement a brilliant new strategy with a broken process, the process will win every time"
Our Value By Design (VBD) process helps you to optimise your whole system.
How the VBD process works
We guide your leaders through redesigning your system around value creation.
1. Understanding the system and mapping the current flow
Your leaders and their teams review the organisation and identify key stakeholders, and exactly where work currently flows, slows down, or becomes trapped between functions
2. Designing the desired flow
Using customer and stakeholder needs as the starting point, your leaders redesign how work should flow to deliver value more effectively and reduce unnecessary delays
3. Identifying implications
Your team identifies the specific changes they need to make to processes, roles, and accountability structures to support the improved, redesigned flow
4. Implementing the transformation Your leaders build a practical, "defect-free" transformation plan and establish feedback loops to ensure the new operating model consistently produces better outcomes in practice
