Method

CARAVAN. From business pain to measurable progress.

Seven stops, from the drag to a system your team can run. Select a stop. On a phone the path runs downward. On a desktop it runs left to right.

CARAVAN: 7-Step Path to Measurable Digital Transformation

From business pain to measurable progress

1-2 weeks

Clarify

A diagnostic of the estate, the data, the bottlenecks, the debt, and the business pain.

Deliverables

A prioritized map and a baseline.

Output

Where the drag is, and what a large improvement would have to move.

C Clarify (1-2 weeks). A diagnostic of the estate, the data, the bottlenecks, the debt, and the business pain. Deliverable: A prioritized map and a baseline. Output: Where the drag is, and what a large improvement would have to move.

A Align (3-5 days). Workshops on outcomes, risk, budget, and who decides. Findings become an executive case. Deliverable: A ranking, with owners. Output: A signed charter.

R Roadmap (1-2 weeks). Quick wins, foundation, and the longer modernization. Build versus buy, people, and risk. Deliverable: Milestones and gates. Output: A roadmap the team can run.

A Architect (2-4 weeks). Data, automation, cloud, AI readiness, security, and integration. It can overlap the roadmap. Deliverable: Decision records. Output: A blueprint approved for the build.

V Validate (4-8 weeks). A pilot on the highest-leverage slice, measured against the baseline. Deliverable: A working pilot and a before-and-after. Output: Proof, and a refined plan for the rest.

A Accelerate (The body of the work). The proven slice, taken across the agreed scope, with delivery looked at every week. Deliverable: Systems in production. Output: Gains the team can keep.

N Normalize (2-4 weeks). Handover, the operating model, and governance. A retainer is optional and separate. Deliverable: Knowledge with your team. Output: A system you can run without us.

Four ways of engagement with Stratigion

1-2 weeks

Discovery

Clarify, and the start of Align. You leave with a prioritized map and a baseline: efficiency, cost-to-serve, or cycle time.

2-4 months

Strategic engagement

Through Roadmap and Architect. Owners, gates, and a blueprint the team can run without us narrating it.

Time-Based

Build and run

Validate, then Accelerate. A pilot against the baseline, then the proven slice in production, with your team in the work.

Retainer

Fractional advisory

Normalize, then stay. A senior in the operating decisions. Optional, and said so. Not a quiet extension of the build.
