The purpose of this step is to identify and assess what needs to be achieved, understand the major drivers for change, and then define, validate, and prioritize the operational realities of the mission and goals with leadership, stakeholders, and operational staff. During this step, the leadership, stakeholder, and customer needs and the operational requirements are validated so that ultimately, all stakeholder groups are working towards the same, well understood, validated outcome. Initial performance metrics are created to begin focusing the measurement of success to be consistent across stakeholder groups. In this step, “leadership” can range in levels of scope from an executive leader over an international challenge to a functional leader who has identified steady state improvements that may include services, systems, or infrastructure. An additional purpose of this step is to identify and engage appropriate governance.
