Orchestration: Turning Strategy into a Practical, Actionable Plan

With your Strategic Design and Roadmap establishing the vision and direction, Orchestration transforms that into an executable plan. Whether you buy, build, or enhance, Orchestration defines precisely how to realize value —and alignment is critical.

At this stage, JBF ensures your organization has the right partners, processes, and proof points in place. By selecting vendors, running proof-of-concept (POC), and mapping out granular timelines, costs, and responsibilities, we provide leadership with the clarity and confidence needed for final financial planning before moving into delivery. This is where strategic alignment meets practical execution, confirming your roadmap and vision aligns with implementation reality.

We guide you through the critical decision of what to do with your current systems using a holistic approach inclusive of people, process, and policy along with technology. You’ll receive a clear recommendation on whether to replace, retain and improve, or build backed by financial projections, risk assessments, and implementation roadmaps for each option.

Vendor Evaluation & Selection (Buy Path)
When a third-party system is needed, we leverage your strategic blueprint to craft the evaluation process, ensuring your needs drive objective decisions. We lead the RFP, demo, and scoring processes—separating marketing claims from real capabilities. We also support negotiations to ensure contract terms align with your goals and roadmap.

Proof of Concept (Build Path)
If you’re developing internally, we manage POCs that validate functionality, surface risks early, and confirm investment is justified before full build-out.

Enhance & Extend (Retain Path)
For organizations keeping their current platform, we plan upgrades and enhancements, including vendor-supported extensions and integration touchpoints.

Project Plan, Business Case & Change Management
Regardless of the path, we create detailed project plans that incorporate people, partners, costs, and timelines, while embedding change-management strategies that address readiness obstacles and ensure system adoption and support. This integrated approach ensures continuity from strategy through execution, resulting in a refined business case that sets the foundation for confident delivery.

Every Orchestration engagement ends with a set of tangible deliverables that equip your team and leadership to move forward with confidence. These outcomes provide clarity on partners, investment, and execution.

Vendor & Partner Clarity
Objective vendor selections ensure you’re working with the right partners who can deliver on your specific needs, not just promises.

Budget Certainty and Financial Confidence
Validated fiscal plans with cost breakdowns, ROI projects, and phased investment plans that enable accurate budget planning and resource allocation.

Comprehensive Implementation Plans
Detailed project plans tailored to your chosen path (buy, build or retain and improve) with clear milestones, dependencies and success metrics that turn strategy into executable action.

Risk Mitigation Through Readiness Planning
Proactive identification and mitigation of implementation risks through integrated change management strategies to address readiness factors, reducing the likelihood of project delays or failures.

Accelerated Time to Value
Streamlined transition from planning to delivery with all stakeholders aligned, resources identified, and execution paths validated, eliminating the typical delay between strategy and implementation.

Organizational Alignment
Clean communication tools and deliverables that align stakeholders and decision makers to the path forward, investment requirements and expected outcomes.
