Processes, systems, data, responsibilities and workarounds become part of everyday operations. Individual teams understand their own areas, technology providers understand the systems they support, but there may be no single view across the business.
The aim is a clear view of what should stay, what could work better and what needs to change, with practical priorities for what happens next.
