The applicant's abilities with be evaluated by DDI and the DDSCP Review Board with respect to three aspects of a Demand Driven implementation:
-
Implement – You must adequately describe the journey to and through implementation. This means that the state of the organization must be described before implementation, why implementation was considered, the nature of the initial implementation strategy and plan and scope, the length of implementation, the challenges encountered and the how the challenges were faced. Finally, clear and compelling initial results must be demonstrated and quantified.
-
Sustain, Expand and Overcome – Initial implementation results are great, but you must be able to demonstrate your ability with regard to stabilizing the implementation after those results. Were there any threats to the implementation? How were those threats addressed? Finally, how did you expand the implementation beyond the initial scope?
-
Improve – once the implementation was stabilized you will need to demonstrate how you drove improvement through at least one tactical adaptive cycle. What analytics were used to identify opportunities and how was the model reconfigured to address those improvement opportunities? In all cases detailed and quantifiable examples must be used.
