Delivery Diagnostic
Path to Value
Your delivery system is a chain of interconnected capabilities — from investment logic to value realisation. We help you identify which parts of that chain matter most in your context, so you invest where it counts.
The Problem with Maturity Assessments
What most consultants do
- • Measure current state across every dimension
- • Produce a radar chart showing gaps
- • Recommend closing all gaps equally
- • Generic playbook regardless of context
- • No prioritisation, no phasing, no sequencing
What we do differently
- • Assess current capability at the practice level
- • Weight every gap by context-specific impact
- • Rank priorities by what actually moves value
- • Generate phased targets across 3 horizons
- • Tell you where to start and what to defer
The Framework
13 Elements Across 4 Layers
Every delivery system comprises these interconnected capabilities. The question isn't whether they exist, but which ones matter most for your organisation right now.

The Process
From Assessment to Action Plan
Describe Your Situation
We configure the model for your delivery model, scale, industry, uncertainty level, and regulatory environment. Then we assess your current capability at the practice level — 68 individual practices across 13 elements.
See What to Prioritise
The model weights every gap by how much it impacts value delivery in your specific context. You get a ranked priority list — not a flat radar chart. Adjust your strategic priority (cost reduction vs speed-to-value) and watch priorities shift in real time.
Get Your Plan
Recommended targets are generated for each practice, phased across three horizons. Targets are calibrated to your context and strategic priority — higher-leverage practices get more ambitious targets. You get a clear action plan: where you are, where to aim, and what to work on first.
Why This Is Different
Context changes everything
A mining enterprise and a SaaS startup need fundamentally different priorities. Our model adjusts for delivery model, scale, uncertainty, regulatory burden, and industry sector — because generic maturity assessments waste money.
Not all gaps are equal
Most frameworks show you a radar chart and say "close the gaps." We weight each gap by how much it actually impacts value delivery in your specific context. You get a ranked priority list, not a wall of recommendations.
Evidence, not opinion
Scoring is grounded in research from DORA, Standish CHAOS, Pendo, McKinsey, Prosci, and Reinertsen — cross-referenced with 20+ years of hands-on delivery leadership across enterprise technology programs.
Phased, realistic targets
We don't tell you to "get to 10/10 on everything." Recommended targets are phased across three horizons, calibrated to your strategic priority — whether that's speed-to-value, cost reduction, or a balanced approach.
Who This Is For
Particularly valuable when you're leading a delivery transformation, standing up a new portfolio function, or trying to work out where to invest next in your delivery capability.
Ready to Prioritise What Matters?
A Path to Value session takes 90–120 minutes and produces a context-specific prioritised improvement plan your leadership team can act on immediately.
