Context
Context: Decision frequency is high, but inconsistent definitions of ROIC and WACC weaken accountability. Under funding cost pressure, delayed decisions directly reduce execution windows. A one-page standard is required so stakeholders can evaluate options quickly while preserving traceability and governance.
Options
- Option A: Maintain the existing process and defer redesign. Short-term execution risk stays low, yet expected improvement remains incremental.
- Option B: Deploy in phases, track ROIC and WACC, and expand scope only after evidence is confirmed. This balances risk and execution speed.
- Option C: Run a comprehensive reconfiguration from the start. This maximizes redesign scope, but can overwhelm teams if assumptions fail early.
Decision
Decision: Adopt Option B with controlled sequencing. Validate core assumptions in one unit, then replicate to adjacent units after review approval.
Rationale
Rationale: Option B provides measurable learning while staying within funding cost pressure. It supports progressive adjustment of the growth investment vs balance-sheet health balance, improves stakeholder alignment, and limits downside if assumptions fail. The phased structure also reduces coordination overhead and strengthens repeatability for future decisions.
Risks
- Weak instrumentation makes it impossible to compare outcomes and undermines the credibility of the decision process.
- If ownership and deadlines are unclear, execution drifts and teams revert to siloed decision criteria.
Next
Next actions: Set the initial deployment unit, confirm data integrity checks, and approve threshold values. Publish the escalation route and rollback protocol.
