As non-profit organisations must navigate the delicate balance between mission and resource constraints, Mission Australia’s CIO, Peter Smith, delves into the transformative impact of ADAPT’s Exponential Value Roadmap (EVR).  

Designed to propel organisations from basic functionality to innovation leaders, the EVR is crucial in advancing business and tech maturity. 

 

Sharpening strategic focus

Peter shares that ADAPT’s Exponential Value Roadmap has been integral in refining Mission Australia’s strategic direction. 

He discusses the intricate balance of enhancing service delivery while managing budgetary and cyber security constraints, highlighting ADAPT’s Exponential Value Roadmap’s role in identifying areas for improvement. 

 

Integrating insights for organisational growth

Peter speaks to the value of integrating various forms of feedback through ADAPT’s Exponential Value Roadmap, aiming to align more closely with their business value chain:  

The value comes in digging into those bits and understanding what the contradiction is and what it tells me. It’s making me rethink some things and reconsider what we’re doing.” 

 

Realising value and innovation

Reflecting on the transformative impact of ADAPT’s Exponential Value Roadmap, Peter comments on the initial surprising insights that acted as a catalyst for strategic reassessment:  

It was like a splash of cold water… it refreshes you and makes you rethink.” 

ADAPT empowers senior executives to pave the path to modernisation and build stronger business cases for technology teams. 

Embarking upon the ADAPT Exponential Value Roadmap will help CIOs transform the organisation into a forward-thinking and thriving Exponential Enterprise.
