Direction & Value
Whether delivery is pointed at outcomes people can describe, and whether value is still being tested once work is underway.

Three questions per capability
Evidence-led delivery intelligence for complex change
See what holds delivery back. Improve what matters first.
DeliveryIQ helps organisations develop a structured, evidence-informed view of delivery capability, identify the patterns that matter and focus improvement attention where it can add most value.

Where to look first
The problem
Delivery rarely fails for the reason written in the report
Complex change is delivered by a system of decisions, standards, data and people. When that system has a weak point, it shows up late and it shows up as a symptom. DeliveryIQ starts one level earlier.
Reports say green until they do not
Status is reported diligently, then a delivery date moves without anyone being able to point to when the risk actually appeared.
The same problems arrive in new projects
Individual lessons get captured. The pattern behind them is rarely named, so the next programme repeats it.
Improvement effort lands in the wrong place
Attention goes to the loudest symptom rather than the capability that would change several outcomes at once.
Delivery DNA 2.2
A structured, evidence-informed view of how you deliver
Delivery DNA provides a structured, evidence-informed view of how an organisation approaches project delivery across five domains and fifteen capabilities. It highlights patterns, strengths and areas that may warrant further attention, then provides practical recommendations and bounded 30/60/90-day direction.

The Delivery Signal
Many separate pieces of evidence, resolved into one prioritised view of what to look at first.
The model
Five domains. Fifteen capabilities.
Each domain holds three capabilities, and each capability is examined through three questions. The Snapshot samples one question per capability. The Overview asks all forty-five.
Leadership & Governance
How decisions get made, how sponsorship behaves in practice, and whether assurance informs delivery or simply reports on it.
- Sponsorship & Accountability
- Governance & Decision-Making
- Risk, Assurance & Resilience
Three questions per capability
Delivery System
The mechanics: how work is planned and sequenced, how dependencies and risk are handled, and how consistently the method is applied.
- Delivery Approach & Lifecycle
- Planning, Control & Dependencies
- Capacity & Delivery Ecosystem
Three questions per capability
People & Enablement
Whether the right capability is available to the right work, and whether teams are set up and supported to deliver it.
- Leadership, Culture & Collaboration
- Stakeholder Engagement & Change Adoption
- Delivery Capability & Enablement
Three questions per capability
Insight & Adaptation
The quality of delivery information, the honesty of reporting, and whether the organisation actually learns between projects.

From evidence to action
Answers become findings. Findings become bounded next steps.
Illustrative Overview output, shown so you know what you would receive. Confidence is stated alongside each area, and direction is bounded to 30, 60 and 90 days rather than presented as a transformation roadmap.
Findings and patterns
Insight & Adaptation
Higher confidenceReporting is produced on time, but the same three delivery issues recur across unrelated projects without being named as a pattern.
Recommendation. Add a short cause section to the existing portfolio report rather than creating a new report.
Leadership & Governance
Moderate confidenceDecisions are taken at the right level, yet teams frequently rediscover them weeks later through informal channels.
Recommendation. Record decisions and their rationale in one place teams already open each week.
Bounded direction
- 30 daysAgree one owner for delivery reporting content and cadence.
- 60 daysName the recurring patterns explicitly in the portfolio review.
- 90 daysRe-test the two weakest capabilities and compare the change.
Illustrative. Bounded 30/60/90-day direction, not a full improvement plan or transformation roadmap.
Being clear
What Delivery DNA is not
It gives you a structured, evidence-informed view from one respondent. That is genuinely useful, and it is not the same as an audit.
- It is not an audit.
- It is not an independent organisational diagnosis.
- It is not a multi-stakeholder comparison — one respondent describes one view.
- It is not a repeat-measurement product today.
- It is not a full transformation roadmap.
Understand. Improve. Automate.
Understanding comes first. Improvement and automation follow.
Delivery DNA is available today. The improvement and automation stages are being built around what it surfaces, and are not available yet.

What is next

We would rather be plain about this than imply capability we do not yet ship. Everything below is on the roadmap for Delivery DNA and the wider DeliveryIQ journey.

Responsible use
Evidence-informed. Explainable. Human-controlled.
How we handle what you tell us, and the limits we hold ourselves to when turning it into findings.
Evidence-informed, not asserted
Every finding traces back to the answers you gave. Where the evidence is thin, we say so through confidence rather than rounding it up into certainty.
Explainable by design
You can see which capability a finding came from and why it matters. No opaque index, and no single definitive number standing in for judgement.
Human-controlled
Delivery DNA informs decisions. It does not make them. Your people interpret the result and remain accountable for what happens next.
Bounded claims
We describe what one structured view can and cannot tell you, and we label future capability as future.
Why this exists
Built from delivery experience, not a market gap on a slide
DeliveryIQ is early. We would rather earn credibility through the quality of the questions and the honesty of the output than borrow it from claims we cannot evidence.
Delivery DNA came out of a pattern seen repeatedly in complex change: the report is accurate, the governance exists, and the delivery still slips — because the weak point sits one level below where anyone is looking.
So we built a structured way to look one level down: five domains, fifteen capabilities, forty-five questions, and findings you can argue with. You will not find customer logos, testimonials or outcome percentages on this site, because we are not yet in a position to evidence them.
