01 · ROADMAP
Where decisions break, what they cost, and the sequence to fix them.
A 90-day diagnostic that ends with a board-defensible roadmap anchored in the P&L. We do not sell platforms before this is done. Neither should you.
What we produce
| Artifact | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Decision audit | A structured map of every consequential decision in the operating cycle — who owns it, how it gets made, what data it consumes, what it costs when it goes wrong. | Decisions, not departments, are the unit of analysis. Most enterprises have never mapped them. |
| Value baseline | Quantified leakage at each broken decision — in margin, working capital, service, and resilience. Sourced from your own data, not benchmarks. | The roadmap is only defensible if the baseline is defensible. We do not use industry averages. |
| Maturity assessment | A scored view of decision maturity across people, process, data, technology, and governance. Calibrated against where the category is going, not where peers are today. | Maturity has to be measured against the destination, not the peer group. Peers are also behind. |
| Sequenced roadmap | A 6–8 quarter transformation roadmap with value milestones, capability dependencies, and an explicit pilot decision at quarter two. | Sequence is the work. Most roadmaps fail because they ship parallel workstreams that never compose. |
How we run it
- 01·
Weeks 1–3 · Discovery
Cross-functional workshops, decision shadowing, data sampling. We map the operating cycle as it actually runs — not as it is documented.
- 02·
Weeks 4–7 · Quantification
We dollarize the leakage at each broken decision using your data. We do not benchmark against the industry; we baseline against your own books.
- 03·
Weeks 8–11 · Sequencing
We design the transformation sequence — what gets fixed when, what capability is a prerequisite for what, where the platform decision sits.
- 04·
Week 12 · Board readout
A single-document readout the C-suite can defend to the board. We do not leave a slide deck. We leave a decision the enterprise can act on.
Who runs it
Every Roadmap engagement is led by a GitaCloud principal — a senior US-based operator who has previously run a function, a strategy practice, or an enterprise software product line at scale. The same principal who runs the diagnostic stays with you through the next phase. No throw-over-the-wall.
