InteDelta Delivery Lifecycle

Within the InteDelta Consulting Approach, the definition and implementation of change is conducted according to the InteDelta Delivery Lifecycle, a structured delivery methodology developed for projects in the risk management and financial services environment.

This provides an over-arching structure to the lifecycle of change within the sphere of risk management at financial institutions, developed out of real life scenarios over multiple years of helping institutions manage change to risk management organisation, policies, methodologies, processes and systems.

At its core the InteDelta Delivery Lifecycle is a modular set of services in order to take organisations through the end to end process of change: from diagnosis and definition; through to benefits assessment; and finally implementation.

For many of these modular steps, we have developed industry proven tools to support our clients in the given stage of the process.

We recognise that many institutions may already be part way through a programme of change or may only require a particular module from within this broader lifecycle of change. With this in mind, we have developed the InteDelta Delivery Lifecycle with full flexibility such that an organisation can choose to utilise only a specific module (e.g. System Selection or Target Operating Model) or can start to leverage our approach from any given point in the process. With similar adaptability, all modules are designed to be sufficiently flexible to ensure that the approach easily scales upwards or downwards appropriately for projects of any given size without compromising rigour.

Where an organisation already has a defined internal project process to follow, we have the experience to align our structure with this and deliver the key value adding elements of our approach within the context of the organisation’s internal framework and terminology.
