Step 01
Understand
Listen to the people closest to the work and agree on what needs to change.
Our Approach
Before making a plan, we listen to the people doing the work, learn what needs to change, and agree on what success looks like.

Clear steps make hard work easier to manage.
Each step connects to the next, and what we learn continues to shape the work and support that follows.
Listen to the people closest to the work and agree on what needs to change.
Look at what is working, what needs attention, and what could affect the next step.
Set clear priorities, owners, decisions, and next steps.
Work with teams and vendors to put the plan into action.
Write down key decisions, steps, and knowledge for the people who will use it.
Stay involved as teams take over and the work becomes part of daily operations.
Use what we learn to make the next step better.
Business and technical teams should understand the same challenge and the same next step.
New work should support the services people already use.
People move faster when they know who decides and who acts.
Start with what is happening today. We will listen and help find the next step.
