Having a clear vision of what success looks like is critical to delivering any type of change into your organisation. Building a clear picture at the beginning of the process will help you gain the right level of senior sponsorship, build a robust business case, secure budget and be able to articulate the reason for change to the organisation.

This stage is just as important to a one off project as it is to a major business transformational change. It helps clarify what you are trying to achieve, why you’re doing this and how you will do it.

Simply put, this is starting with the end in mind, so that you get the desired results.

The challenges you may face during this stage include:

Clarifying direction and gaining leadership buy in (sponsorship)

Ensuring consumer / user needs are fully understood

Defining shared values, goals and objectives

Conducting adequate investment evaluation (benefits / business case)

Having a clear end state or a view of what success looks like

Identifying and articulating clear reasons for the change

Identifying and securing the appropriate senior sponsorship
