Opportunity Framing 

Set the project up to pass its next decision gate - with clarity, alignment, and governance.

A structured, decision-focused process that prepares leadership teams, aligns stakeholders, and establishes fit-for-purpose governance - before major commitments are made.

What Opportunity Framing Is

Opportunity Framing is not a one-off workshop.

​

It is a decision-critical engagement that combines:

  • structured preparation

  • a facilitated framing workshop

  • and practical project governance setup

​

So leadership teams can make confident, aligned decisions at their next gate.

​

It is designed for:

  • complex, capital projects

  • high uncertainty 

  • multiple stakeholders

  • unclear or contested problem definitions

How Opportunity Framing Works

Opportunity Framing is delivered through our own PATH Framework. PATH is our structured, four-step framework used to guide opportunity framing - from preparation through decision-ready outcomes. It ensures teams don’t jump to solutions, miss risks, or move forward without alignment and governance.

P - Prepare (Before the Workshop):

We prepare the project and the people before anyone enters the room.​

​

This step ensures the workshop is focused, relevant, and decision-driven, not exploratory or abstract.

 

A - Analyse the Current State (Workshop):

In the first part of the workshop, we align the team on reality.​

​

This creates a shared understanding of the problem before jumping to solutions.

T - Target the Future (Workshop)

Next, the team aligns on where they are going, options, decisions and how success will be judged.​

 

This is where alignment replaces opinion and trade-offs become visible.

​

H - Handle the Transition (Workshop + After):

Finally, we translate alignment into actions and governance.

​

This ensures the project leaves the framing decision-ready, not just inspired.

Outcomes You Can Expect

By using PATH, Opportunity Framing:

✔ Prepares leadership teams for critical decisions

✔ Aligns stakeholders before major commitments

​✔ Establishes project-level governance early - when change is still affordable

✔ Sets the initiative up to confidently pass its next decision gate

​

Opportunity Framing establishes project-level governance early, when decisions are still flexible and value can be identified..
