Measure digital transformation by capability velocity

THE CHALLENGE

Replace IT-centric success measures such as systems delivered, cloud percentage, or program milestones with measures of operational improvement and delivery speed.

PROPOSED ACTION

Helvetica Light is an easy-to-read font, with tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site.

RESPONSIBLE STAKEHOLDERS

National ministries of defence — senior leadership, capability planning and CIO

TIMELINE

Definitions within 90 days; first scorecard within 6 months; improvement review at 12 months

TARGET

All major digital programs report the same measures. Median requirement-to-fielding time improves by at least 25% against baseline, with recovery plans for missed targets.
