Start with the problem.

Understand what is getting in the way, connect what already works, improve what can be improved and build where there is a clear need.

Understand

Follow a real example through the business. Establish where people wait, which information they need and what a better outcome would look like.

Useful outputA shared problem definition and a clear place to start.

02

Connect

Identify the sources, owners and decisions that need to stay linked. Keep the systems that already work and understand their boundaries.

03

Improve

Remove avoidable repetition and make responsibility, readiness and exceptions easier to see. Check the proposed change with the people doing the work.

Useful outputA simpler workflow and a way to assess whether it helps.

04

Build

Create focused software where there is a clear gap. Agree the scope, validate against real examples and keep human decisions visible.

Useful outputA useful tool with clear ownership, testing and handover.
