Cases and evidence
Current product policyLast updated September 30, 2026
Choose a topic, then explore how a case reaches a judgment.
Choose a small-scale centralization pilot on a single cross-brand support process: this captures causal signals on both cost and decision speed under reversible, limited risk, directly addressing the CEO's dual goals of efficiency and speed, without violating the constraint of 'not changing all brands/functions simultaneously.'
Read the full case →Recommend approving a 4-week scoped diagnostic and process pilot: with evidence gaps unresolved (risk localization, dependency scope, baseline quantification), this path gathers the evidence needed for judgment in a reversible, isolated manner, while explicitly protecting tax, compliance, and historical data from disruption — preferable to committing directly to a technology upgrade before the scope is clear
Read the full case →We recommend prioritizing a small-scale, business-unit-led validation path, since current evidence on value, capability, and differentiation (F1, F3, F4) is insufficient to support an early lock-in of a globally uniform sequence; small-scale validation can generate comparable evidence under controlled risk while avoiding the extrapolation risk that F6 prohibits.
Read the full case →Recommend launching a fast, evidence-based screening with clear deadlines and stop conditions first, establishing a global common-baseline requirement and comparison criteria before deciding whether a full RFP is needed; this path is reversible, lower cost, and allows early cut-off of losses when evidence is insufficient
Read the full case →Recommend first running a scope validation with a clear owner, defined common data/process boundaries, stop conditions, and expansion thresholds, rather than locking in enterprise-wide ERP immediately; since process differences across the four business units, root-cause attribution, and cost-benefit evidence have not been verified, the irreversible risk of full rollout at this stage is too high
Read the full case →Recommend first launching a short-term, time-boxed current-state and vendor evidence gate with defined stop conditions, to identify the root cause of manual rework and validate candidate platform fit before deciding platform lock-in scope; this path preserves reversibility without abandoning the feasibility of the 24-month timeline
Read the full case →Recommend first establishing a time-boxed, stoppable shared business-and-technology baseline to prioritize the first wave of investments, rather than immediately approving a major transformation direction; since the root cause of weak returns is unidentified (F3) and senior leadership's directional disagreement remains unresolved (F5), locking directly into a major initiative carries excessive irreversible risk—building the baseline first secures evidence at controlled cost while preserving the option to reverse course.
Read the full case →Recommend first establishing a time-boxed, stoppable supply-demand data and forecasting evidence baseline, and locking in the scope of the first integration phase; since the root cause (data definitions/quality/process/model/ownership) has not yet been pinpointed, committing directly to a global platform would lock in unvalidated assumptions, whereas the evidence-baseline path preserves the ability to reverse course and aligns with the committee's requirement for reversibility
Read the full case →Adopt a path with time-bound, stoppable capacity stabilization and migration evidence gates; until the root cause is quantified (U1) and dependencies and recovery paths are known (U2), do not lock unverified dependencies into a large-scale one-time cutover — use staged evidence to decide whether to expand scope
Read the full case →Prioritize a time-boxed, stoppable phased evidence-gate sequencing for migration, since the root-cause proportion (U1) and irreversible dependencies (U2) remain unconfirmed; a full replacement carries irreversible risk and may lock in unvalidated process assumptions.
Read the full case →Prioritize a stoppable pilot on a small number of key events, since the absence of a cascading-impact event list and data governance evidence makes it impossible to assess the safety and on-time-performance risk of a full-scale commitment.
Read the full case →Run a time-boxed pilot first, focused on a small set of high-risk materials and plants, to validate data quality, alert reliability, procurement accountability and response thresholds before deciding on expansion — since current data and accountability evidence do not support a one-time global build, and this stoppable path carries lower risk.
Read the full case →Prioritize first establishing root-cause and requirements handoff evidence from representative projects, since this path is reversible, verifiable across projects and roles, and does not disrupt in-flight government deliveries
Read the full case →Use a time-boxed gate to first verify readiness across leadership, workforce, and outcome feasibility, then decide the scope and timeline for full rollout based on results—since current confidence rests only on executive self-assessment, not shared evidence.
Read the full case →Prioritize a time-limited pilot to stabilize high-failure, high-payment-risk processes, while simultaneously validating vendor transparency, controls, and accuracy; decide on scaling or full migration once evidence supports it
Read the full case →Adopt a time-boxed representative-ward pilot covering wards and shifts with varying demand, setting hard stop thresholds such as patient safety, retaining real-time surge support and manual review, and deciding on hospital-wide scale-up only after capacity, quality, and managerial accountability are validated
