This phase is concerned with utilising POET to perform a
detailed analysis of the Enterprise’s Transformation Maturity with respect to
it.
After determining the current state of maturity, the
maturity model (provided by the POET) is used to understand the benefits of
moving to higher levels of maturity and the tasks and costs associated with
doing so.
In addition the Risks associated with this increase in
maturity are detailed and risk mitigation strategies are decided upon that will
be carried out in subsequent phases.
Metrics are also detailed so that progress and benefits can
be measured.
In addition to detailing the risks going forward, there may
be risk mitigation actions to be performed in this phase that were determined
in the previous phase.
This work largely consists of using all the Guidance that
POET provides and using it to determine what needs to change and how. This can
be accomplished by answering all the questions that POET poses.
Executive Management will then decide to proceed to the next
phase, to pause, or even stop the initiative at this point.
If we obtain the mandate and resources to proceed, the next
phase is Constructing.
