Why consider the Decent Framework™?
There are a number of reasons to consider Decent. A few reasons your organization may be interested include:
Visibilty
The Decent Framework™ provides multiple levers to gain a better understanding about how an enterprise creates and manages value.
Governance Visibility
Decent provides clear insight into who is accountable for every scope.
Operational Visibility
Officers gain clarity about the rights, responsibilities, and expectations for the scope they've been assigned.
Performance Visibility
Stewards and agents understand and agree on performance goals, and regularly review performance.
Capital Visibility
Scopes are assigned specific budgets in order to achieve a specific output. Scopes are then linked into value chains to track how investments are converted into returns.
Risk Visibility
Risks are clearly identified, quantified, and owned.
Value Visibility
Value as well as optimization and growth opportunities are clearly identified and mapped.
Efficiency
The Decent Framework™ fills gaps and builds guardrails using structure - which offers a number of efficiency gains.
Alignment by Design
Decent defines structure using value, building pipelines based on inputs and outputs. From there, Decent guides how breaks in the chain are reconciled - streamlining process overhead and creating alignment by default.
Autonomy
Officers are empowered to make decisions and run ALL aspects of their scope, based on the pre-determined and agreed restrictions and requirements - leading to true autonomy and action.
Resource Pooling
Systematically collapse duplicate or related scopes to concentrate resources that deliver similar outputs - leading to better quality, SLAs, efficiency.
Cross-Functional Analysis
Decent unlocks the capability to effectively analyze multiple dimensions across scopes and value chains to identify outliers and optimization opportunities.
Growth
The Decent Framework™ solves for systematic and mechanical innovation - and may be one of the most exciting capabilities.
Iteration vs. Innovation
Decent differentiates between iteration (alignment of value) and innovation (creation or recovery of value) - and provides guardrails to ensure a balance between the two strategies.
Recovering Value
After realizing a risk - Decent helps an enterprise pivot by identifying actionable solutions and contingencies in real-time.
Creating Value
Decent provides a deep understanding of the value an enterprise creates - allowing for new solutions to be explored by mechanically evaluating existing value.
Aligning Value
Iteration is a tool, not a strategy, and Decent outlines when value should be aligned - as well as when to stop.
Secondary Benefits
Though very real, these are a few additional benefits Decent enterprises realize as a result of those mentioned above:
Clarity
Unmatched understanding of roles, importance, and relationships within the enterprise.
Accountability
Builds a true culture of action through ownership and autonomy.
Resiliency
Relentless ability to pivot on a dime with real-time value management.
Velocity
Move at the speed of design - winners no longer need to wait for alignment or signal.
