Situations.05
The implementation can be stable and the organisation can still be underperforming against the outcome that justified the investment.
The symptoms may be visible — workarounds, support demand, slow execution, behavioural variation, exceptions, duplicated effort, adoption gaps or weak operational KPIs — while the real cause remains unclear.
Value Performance & Optimisation
Situations / .05 The organisation is live, but expected value is leaking
What you may be seeing
- Users complete the process, but with extra steps, workarounds or manual correction.
- Operational KPIs are below expectation even though usage appears acceptable.
- Support demand remains high long after go-live.
- Different teams achieve materially different outcomes from the same technology or process.
- Benefits are being reported below plan without a clear explanation of where they are leaking.
- The organisation is generating large amounts of usage or operational data but still cannot agree what intervention would improve performance.
- Teams are responding to visible symptoms one by one without a coherent view of the underlying constraints.

Why it matters
Visible symptoms can have very different root causes. A usage problem, process-design issue, role constraint, local behaviour, policy barrier, capability gap or data issue can all produce similar operational outcomes.
Acting on the wrong cause can add training, communications, content or governance without improving the outcome — creating more activity while value continues to leak.
Situations / .05 The organisation is live, but expected value is leaking
What can sit behind it
Possible drivers include behavioural variation, process friction, poorly designed exceptions, local policy or control constraints, unclear roles, capability gaps, weak adoption in critical tasks, operating-model issues, support dependencies or limitations in how performance is being measured.
The purpose of diagnosis is to discriminate between those possibilities rather than assume that low value means low adoption.
How DAA approaches the question
DAA establishes the bounded performance question, builds an evidence-based view of the current baseline, traces where value appears to be leaking, tests plausible causes and identifies a prioritised set of interventions and measures.
The work is deliberately bounded. It is designed for a defined operational domain or technology-enabled workflow where the organisation needs to understand what is happening and what intervention is justified.

Where this can lead
Primary route
Value Performance & Optimisation is the primary route for a bounded live-performance or post-go-live value-leakage problem.
Value Performance & OptimisationRelated routes
Value Optimisation Review may be more appropriate when the question spans multiple domains, transformations, investments or executive value hypotheses and can no longer be contained within one operational intervention.

Not sure?
If the symptoms are clear but the scope of the value question is not, DAA can help determine whether the problem is bounded enough for Value Performance & Optimisation or broad enough to require a Value Optimisation Review.
