Resources: Outside-in Service Delivery Review (OI-SDR)
aka the Strategy Performance and Alignment Review (SPAR)

I was asked in a meetup last night what I would do if I could implement only one thing. Five years ago, I might have answered with “Validation”; today, my answer is the OI-SDR. It’s a piece of deliberate organisation design, building in the strong organisational expectation that learning will be happening – learning about our customers and learning about ourselves. An opportunity for double loop learning. And to do it justice, you’ll soon be practicing validation anyway!

Agendashift’s Outside-in Service Delivery Review gives a strategic and Lean-Agile twist to the classic operational review meeting. Based on experience in the UK government digital space, it was introduced in the 2018 1st edition of Agendashift, described in chapter 5 of the 2019 book Right to Left: The digital leader’s guide to Lean and Agile and futher developed in the Agendashift 2nd edition (March 2021). It is released under a Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license.
