In  this phase we analyse the value creation steps to identify which parts  of the organization work together to provide value to the customer. We  identify bottlenecks, dependencies and potential areas of conflict.

We  use this information as an input for both overarching (enterprise wide)  and local (within a unit or ART) organizational decisions.

The Value Stream Analysis Workshop is a key tool that we use here which can be applied at various levels in the organization.

Portfolios and portfolio management is established to reflect the value creation streams

• Teams or units are set up around the value creation streams

• Collaboation  needs are identified and mechanisms for collaborations are established  (e.g. solution areas or agile release trains)

Driven  by rapid technology advance and fluid customer needs, an enterprise must  be able to change its collaboration structures (which teams work with which other ones) as value streams change.

• Build value stream focus into the DNA of the organization

• Flexible collaboration structures become the norm
