01
Assess
establish the current capability baseline across mandate, governance, roles, technology, demand, standards, measurement, funding, business engagement and operating maturity.
Why this becomes a problem
When the capability grows around the technology rather than the business need, demand can become reactive, ownership can fragment, success can be measured mainly through activity or usage, and the function can become dependent on a small number of individuals. Capacity is then consumed by the easiest requests to fulfil rather than by the problems where Digital Adoption can contribute the greatest business value.
01
When Digital Adoption CoE Design & Build is the right fit
The offer is appropriate where the organisation has, or intends to establish, a material Digital Adoption capability; a sponsor can define the strategic intent; the current team, technology, governance and demand context can be assessed; and the organisation is willing to address operating-model questions rather than limit the conversation to DAP administration.
Typical triggers include scaling a DAP beyond an initial programme, consolidating fragmented adoption teams, preparing for multi-application enterprise use, recurring governance or ownership problems, weak prioritisation, inconsistent standards, changes in vendor or operating model, AI-adoption expansion, or a desire to move Digital Adoption from project support to enterprise capability.
What DAA does
The offer is one product identity that can be staged according to need.
The client does not need to purchase every stage. The appropriate entry and exit point depends on the existing capability and dependencies.
02
Design
define the target Digital Adoption operating model, including mandate, governance, organisation, competencies, decision rights, demand, prioritisation, technology governance, standards, funding, measurement and partner interfaces.
03
Build
create the operating mechanisms needed to run the model, including governance forums, role definitions, intake and prioritisation workflows, standards, service catalogue, measurement structures and partner interfaces.
04
Operationalise
support transition into live operation through selected governance, demand, measurement and decision cycles, identify defects and refine the model before handover.

Who is typically involved
The capability mix can include Digital Adoption, operating-model and governance design, product or platform ownership, people and organisational effectiveness, value and measurement, process and operational excellence, and partner-ecosystem design where relevant.
Named practitioner assignment remains engagement-specific.

Related routes
Value Performance & Optimisation may be the better fit when the Digital Adoption capability itself is not the main issue and the immediate question is post-go-live value leakage in a bounded domain.
Operational Readiness may be more appropriate when the immediate need is a defined programme-to-operations handover rather than enterprise capability design.
Value Optimisation Review may be more appropriate when Digital Adoption is only one component of a wider enterprise value problem.
