Strategic Opportunity Framing
Early phases of projects are characterised by insufficient information to make decisions
Strategic framing guides decisions making by developing a holistic view of alternatives, grouped into building blocks and strategic themes aligned to the overarching business strategy. The process is key to defining what information is required and when in order to de-risk the investment pathway and make decisions at the right time.
Typically, we conduct this in the form of workshop (s) as well as discussions with key stakeholders.
Outcomes include clear decision trees, investment/project road maps to the next phase, alignment on funding priorities.
Feedback from our clients:
- This process improved clarity of business and project objectives
- We now have a clear road map to the next phase gate
