A proprietary, revenue-centric framework that streamlines organizational structure and processes by prioritizing decision-making and financial accountability.

DECENT

Practical Governance for Modern Enterprises.

The Decentralized Entity (DECENT) Framework© addresses governance inefficiencies through a focus on revenue, decision-making, and accountability.

Problem Statements

The Decent Framework© is not a fit for every organization. Below are a few problem statements that the framework specifically addresses.

• Decisions take longer than expected.
• Leaders are over allocated to meetings.
• It is difficult to prioritize projects.
• Investments are risky and do not always translate into revenue.
• Development velocity is slower than expected.
• SLA’s are frequently missed.
• Change control is considered a bottleneck.
• The technology and product roadmaps are unclear.
• Operational risks are not adequately mitigated.
• Leaders do not have or control budgets.
• Expenses are not allocated to revenue streams.

Solution

The Decent Framework© tackles governance issues by implementing a scalable methodology that addresses the core issue, scope. Here are a few key steps in a typical remediation:

• Group resources and assets into scope-based entities with clear inputs and outputs.
• Identify ownership and decision-making gaps.
• Inventory and assign operational risk ownership.
• Map expenses to revenue streams and create scope-based budgets.
• Calculate entity scores for revenue, risk, and innovation weighting.
• Implement an innovation panel and investment review process.
• Streamline processes and reduce collaboration overhead.
• Educate leaders on revenue-centric operations and financial accountability.
• Optimize entities through a continuous evaluation process.

These steps empower the right people to make the right decisions in a timely manner. Furthermore, this framework provides mechanisms to evaluate investment opportunities, quantify risks, and understand operations in terms of revenue and expense – allowing for educated, objective investments.

Organizations that pursue the Decent Framework© realize a number of operational benefits. Example outcomes may include:
