70% of projects consume resources without creating real value.
Reports piling up. Milestones ticked off but impact invisible. Budgets spent, ROI nonexistent. Traditional project management measures deliverables, not value.
Our approach reverses that logic: every decision, every cycle, every resource is driven by the creation of tangible business value.
Proof through impact: our method in action
The challenge:
The PMO of a service company was drowning in reporting. Dozens of projects were “green” on timelines, yet their real contribution to the company’s strategy was unclear.
Our action (value-centric):
We applied our ADVATEAM™ method to assess each project not by progress, but by its actual contribution to the company’s three strategic objectives.
The result:
Within 3 months, the decision was clear: 40% of the portfolio’s projects, identified as non-strategic, were stopped. Resources freed up accelerated the truly strategic projects by 50%.
Methodology
The Value-Centric Delivery™ Method in 4 Phases
Phase 1 : Framing & mobilization
From idea to Go/No-Go decision
• Clarify the challenge: What business problem must this project solve?
• Quantify the target: How much is solving this problem worth?
• Define impact KPIs: How will we concretely measure success?
• Mobilize key stakeholders: Build a shared vision of success
→ Deliverable: A value-centered business case with clear success metrics
Phase 2 : Collaborative design
From Go decision to validated roadmap
• Co-design the target (processes, organization, tools) with your teams
• Break down into value increments: every increment must deliver measurable benefit
• Identify quick wins: 20% of effort for 80% of rapid value
• Agile realization plan: sequenced by declining business value, not just technical logic
→ Deliverable: A value roadmap with business milestones (not just technical ones)
Phase 3 : Proof through delivery
Cycles of value creation
• Cycle 1: Quick wins—visible value fast to create momentum
• Subsequent cycles: Incremental delivery of measurable value
• Adaptive steering: Reallocate resources based on observed ROI
• On-the-job upskilling: Each cycle as a real learning environment
→ Deliverable: Business value delivered and team capabilities developed progressively
Phase 4 : Embedding & capitalization
From delivery to lasting success
• Post-delivery optimization: Adjustments to maximize adoption
• Transfer & autonomy: Teams own and leverage the created value
• Embedding new habits: Change becomes the new standard
• Value-focused lessons learned: What created the most/least value and why?
→ Deliverable: Value sustainably embedded + insights for future projects

The questions your peers are asking
What if my project is mandatory?
We help you identify and quantify these benefits.
How do you measure value in HR or organizational projects?
Does this value-focused approach make the upfront phase longer?
Isn’t a flexible approach a risk for budget and timelines?
What is the role of our teams in this method?
It’s key. Your teams are not spectators—they are co-creators. Their involvement in design and pilots ensures the solution fits their real needs. This initial time investment translates into faster adoption and sustainable embedding of value, because teams own the solution they helped create.
