Starting Point: Your Top 5 First Initiative Ideas
• Goal of the first app is to create
adoption, acceptance and proof of
building your digital acceleration
capability
• Example:
• Proving Business and IT collaboration
• Proving development acceleration
• Unexpected high-impact feature
• Solving a real problem of business users
• Proving ROI on a program level
• MVP can go live in 30-60 days
Step 1: Validate First Success Focus (Wow Factor)

Step 3: Validate the Minimum Viable Digital Use Case
Current Situation:
Our incident management processes today are paper-based, with no immediate access to safety
systems, and capturing of incidents is delayed.
Description of the Idea (“we believe”):
Mobile incident management enables anyone to capture initial information related to incidents,
near misses, or any safety observation from anywhere at any time.
Enabled by:
Connecting existing safety
systems together in one new
app that alerts stakeholders
when an incident or near miss
occurs
What Will It Solve:
The problem that stakeholders
now only rely on reactive
monitoring instead of proactive
management of risks.
What Are the Affected
KPIs:
• Increased reporting capture,
and accuracy
• Decreased time to response
• Increase safety culture.
Step 4: Validate Complexity vs. Exposure
