Common failure modes
- Adopting CVA in principle while leaving the legacy operating model in place
- Creating slices that are too broad in scope
- Creating slices that fail to engage your full organizational ecosystem
- Using deterministic measures of success to gauge performance
- Targeting outputs over outcomes
Pragmatic Insight:
CVA is ultimately about product creation as your primary business capability. Budget and schedule are legacy governance modes that destroy this capability. Using these measures, your teams will either: a) Re-implement your last system with vague promises of achieving the higher-order customer experience goals “next year”, or they will b) aggressively copy the best-in-class work of the last three years. In both cases, you don’t have a customer experience model that works in complex environments (see Part I), or that creates customer-obsessed teams that instead produce the work that others will copy in the future.
