A puzzle is much easier to assemble if you can see the final picture.

A sketch brings the architect’s vision to life, aligning backers, builders and authorities.

The same is true for change programs.

If everyone has a clear view of the end state, your program is more likely to succeed because you can more effectively plan, de-risk, estimate, and gain funding.

Can your program team and stakeholders clearly describe your target-state?
Are you confident it is the right destination?
Do you know the best path to get there?
