The Waypoint Method
A Structured Approach to IT Clarity
The Waypoint Method From Uncertainty to Clarity
For many mid-sized businesses, technology can feel like a “black box.” Leaders know IT is important, but they struggle to measure its value, understand its risks, or align its investments with business priorities.
The Waypoint Method is our diagnostic framework designed to replace that uncertainty with clarity. By combining business context with a structured, data-driven assessment, we provide a shared fact base for decision-making and a clear strategic starting point for improvement.
How It Works -
Four Steps to Clarity:
Understand the Business Context
We start with a Business Profile Assessment; a short, focused conversation with leadership to capture your strategic priorities, operational challenges, and goals. This ensures all findings are interpreted through the lens of your business reality.
Measure the Current State
We conduct an IT Maturity Assessment across 10 core domains, scoring both maturity and business impact. This creates an objective, comprehensive view of where your technology function stands today.
Diagnose the “Why” and Prioritize
We synthesize results to identify your unique IT Archetype, a clear narrative explaining the root cause of your challenges. Then, we present a visual dashboard showing maturity vs. impact across domains, giving you a rank-ordered list of priorities.
Outline the Path Forward
We deliver a Strategic Synopsis that combines your business context with the assessment insights, highlighting the most significant opportunities and the foundation to support the next steps to building an effective roadmap.
Why It Matters
The Waypoint Method doesn’t just give you a list of problems to fix. It provides a strategic starting point; a clear, shared understanding between leadership and IT of where you are, what matters most, and where to focus next.
Unlike traditional IT assessments that can sometimes take months and generate hundreds of pages of detail, the Waypoint Method delivers a clear, fact-based starting point in just a few days. That’s often the difference between spinning in analysis and actually moving forward: momentum, not paralysis.
