Direction before detail

Know what is
worth doing.

A business decision starts with a purpose. Look at customer needs, commercial assumptions and the choices that deserve attention before committing to a direction.

  • Priorities
  • Business models
  • Trade-offs
Inside this focus

Business / Scope

Make the decision explicit.

Business perspective means looking at the choice itself: who it matters to, which assumptions support it and what would change the decision. A clear account of the alternatives is often more useful than a longer plan.

  • Define the customer need and the outcome you are considering.
  • Separate what is known from what still needs evidence.
  • Compare alternatives, including keeping things as they are.

The connection
A promising direction still needs an operating model that can support it.

How work moves

See the work
between the steps.

Everyday operations depend on handovers, responsibilities and information. Follow the work to see where a sound plan becomes difficult to carry out.

  • Workflows
  • Ownership
  • Dependencies
Inside this focus

Operations / Scope

Follow one piece of work.

An operational perspective follows a task from its first request to its completion. It pays attention to waiting, exceptions and decisions that are easy to miss in a process diagram.

  • Trace one real workflow, including handovers and exceptions.
  • Identify who can make each decision and who needs the result.
  • Distinguish a recurring constraint from a one-off problem.

The connection
Technology choices make more sense when the workflow and its constraints are understood.

Purpose before tools

Give technology
a clear job.

Software should fit the business and the people using it. Consider systems, data and automation in the context of the work they need to support.

  • Data
  • Automation
Inside this focus

Technology / Scope

Start with the work, not the tool.

A technology perspective asks how a system will be used, maintained and connected to the rest of the business. New functionality is only one part of the decision; ownership and ongoing effort matter too.

  • Describe the task and the people who need to complete it.
  • Check data quality, integration needs and access responsibilities.
  • Consider maintenance, reversibility and the cost of complexity.

The connection
A useful technical choice can be explained in terms of a business need.

A starting point

A better question
comes first.

Choose what is on your mind. Take a few questions into your own thinking.

Questions to consider

Before choosing a direction

Make room for the alternative you have not yet considered.

  1. What would have to be true for this direction to make sense?

  2. Which assumption could you check before making a larger commitment?

  3. What would you give up by choosing this option?

Try this: write the decision in one sentence, then name the strongest alternative.

Questions to consider

Before changing a process

Look closely at one real example of the work.

  1. Where does work wait, and what is it waiting for?

  2. Which handover creates the most uncertainty?

  3. Who has the information and authority to resolve an exception?

Try this: trace a recent task from request to completion. Include the waiting time.

Questions to consider

Before adding another tool

Describe the job without naming a product.

  1. What task should become easier, and for whom?

  2. Could a simpler process solve the same problem?

  3. Who would own the system and its data after the initial setup?

Try this: list what the tool must do, what can wait and what it should not do.
