Decent Framework™ Pilot

Value Discovery

Every Decent transformation begins with a brief evaluation of the organization's existing structure.

This activity provides insights into value, risk, ownership, dependency, and process relationships - then sets a starting point for onboarding.

Goals

Specific focuses for this evaluation include:

  • Map current structure.
  • Evaluate scope maturity.
  • Analyze decision infrastructure.
  • Review risk strategy.
  • Understand officer powers.
  • Gauge capital literacy.

These data points allow us to identify and model an organization's value structure.

Deliverables

Upon completion our professionals will create and present the following artifacts:

  • Current State Value Chain Map™
  • Summary of Structural Findings
  • Implementation Plan
  • Licensing and Support Details

These artifacts will demonstrate value, provide clear next steps, and directly support future requirements.

Format

This evaluation is typically conducted over a 30-day period, free of charge, with minimal client involvement. Activities usually include:

  • Executive and Senior Leader Interviews
  • Financial Review
  • Org Chart Review
  • Architecture Review
  • Process and Approval Review
  • Occasional Junior-Level Interviews

Executive and senior interviews are typically front-loaded, then reviews are conducted for specific areas of interest. In some cases, junior-level interviews may be included to better understand value-dense or process-heavy parts of an organization.

Requirements

Prior to conducting a Value Discovery evaluation, we recommend completing the following:

  • Secure Board-Level Sponsorship
  • Prepare High-Level Artifacts or Onboarding Support for:
    • Financials (Revenue Booking, P/L, Cost Centers, POs)
    • Org Chart (Workday, Active Directory, Teams, Docs)
    • Architecture, Operations, or Manufacturing Diagrams
    • Business Process Inventory (Budgeting, Quarterly Planning, Change Control, GTM)
  • Test Fit with The Art of Decent Structure™

It is important to set expectations early, as the Decent Framework™ is implemented top-down. Artifact and access availability may extend the evaluation timeline if not secured ahead of time.
