Workshops: Implementing your Outside-in Service Delivery Review (OI-SDR)

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!

This 2-hour hands-on online workshop will get your team, product line, value stream, or organisational unit started with the [Outside-in Service Delivery Review (OI-SDR)], a strategic and Lean-Agile twist on the classic operational review meeting. Based on real experience in the UK government digital space, this key governance meeting is introduced in Agendashift: Outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation (2nd edition 2021), described in depth in Right to Left: The digital leader’s guide to Lean and Agile (2019, audiobook 2020), and referenced on this site in the Right-to-Left Strategy Deployment pattern.

By the end of this workshop you will be well on your way to implementing your own OI-SDR successfully. With that, you will be building into your organisation design some powerful expectations: that experimentation will always be happening, that the strategy will be advancing, that service will continue to improve, and that intelligence and insights will be shared – all of that in a structure specifically designed to create leadership opportunities and to cause misalignments to reveal themselves.

Workshop agenda:

  1. Thinking in circles:
    • Interlinked circles of responsibility
    • Concentric circles of alignment
  2. Metrics:
    • Performance measures
    • Health indicators
  3. Stories, hypotheses, and experiments:
    • Framing for maximum learning
    • Focussing for maximum leverage
  4. The nuts and bolts of the OI-SDR meeting:
    • Agenda:
      • Outside in (customer & environment first), then
      • Right to left (outcome first)
    • Protocols, participation, and preparation

This workshop is a natural companion to our transformation strategy workshops and outside-in strategy review workshops; accordingly it may be offered as part of a package. These workshops can be taken in either order or standalone:

  • The OI-SDR workshop as groundwork before stepping back to strategy, whether focussed mainly on delivery and ways of working (Applied and Deep Dive), on customer/product/service strategy (Impact!), or on strategy more broadly (Wholehearted:OKR)
  • The OI-SDR workshop as followup, establishing the infrastructure required to sustain the work agreed in a strategy review
  • The OI-SDR workshop on its own as an opportunity to improve the design of your organisational unit’s governance mechanisms, with a view to improving performance and alignment

By default, this workshop is delivered online for 3-8 participants from the same organisational unit – at least acquainted with each other if not close colleagues. However, of your needs differ from that, don’t hesitate to ask.
