90-Day Strategic Vision

Enterprise Innovation Lead | Delaware Nation Industries

Prepared for the VP of Innovation and Technology

“Turning small steps into big wins — delivering practical innovation that earns customer trust, reduces friction, and creates enterprise value through reusable patterns and measurable outcomes.”

90-Day Execution Path

Days 1-30Discover & Align

Build trusted relationships and understand real problems before proposing solutions.

• Stakeholder Map completed with 20+ contacts profiled• 8+ discovery sessions conducted and documented• Innovation Landscape Map delivered to VP

Outcome: 80%+ of identified stakeholders met within 30 days

Days 31-60Design & Pilot

Launch small-scale pilots that demonstrate value quickly and iterate based on user feedback.

• 2-3 pilots launched with documented baselines• Pilot charters signed off by VP and pilot owners• User guides distributed to all pilot participants

Outcome: 100% of approved pilots launched on schedule

Days 61-90Deliver & Scale

Measure outcomes, document reusable patterns, and prepare for enterprise scaling.

• Final pilot results documented with baseline comparison• Reusable playbooks/templates published to central repository• Pattern catalog established with 3+ entries

Outcome: 2+ pilots meeting or exceeding target metrics

Executive Summary

Mission & Operating Framework

Mission Statement

Deliver practical, measurable innovation that earns customer trust, reduces operational friction, and creates enterprise value through reusable patterns. This operating system transforms strategic intent into executable weekly actions with clear accountability and visible progress.

90-Day Objectives

Phase	Days	Primary Outcomes
Discover & Align	1-30	Stakeholder trust established, 3-5 validated opportunities prioritized, governance aligned
Design & Pilot	31-60	2-3 pilots launched with baselines, early wins demonstrated, feedback loops active
Deliver & Scale	61-90	Measurable outcomes documented, playbooks created, 180-day roadmap approved

Operating Principles

Discovery Before Solutions

Understand real problems through customer engagement before proposing solutions

Low-Risk Pilots

Use existing tools and approved workflows; no new procurement in first 90 days

Visible Progress

Measurable outcomes leadership can present to stakeholders

Enterprise Reuse

Build patterns once, deploy across the portfolio

Early Win Pilots

Five targeted initiatives designed to deliver measurable value within 90 days

Problem

Contract transitions are treated as unique events. Program managers recreate checklists, documentation templates, and handoff procedures each time, wasting experienced PM time and creating inconsistent transition quality.

In Scope

Interview 3-4 PMs who have led recent transitions
Document common transition phases and activities
Create modular playbook with checklists and templates
Test with one upcoming transition

Out of Scope

Automated transition tracking tools
Customer-facing transition materials

Success Metrics

30%+ reduction in transition planning time

Voluntary adoption by at least one additional PM

No transition items missed that were covered in playbook

Scale Path

Successful playbook becomes standard across all subsidiaries. Future phases add transition tracking dashboard and integration with onboarding workflows.

AI & Automation

Decision Support & Productivity Enablement

AI in government-adjacent contexts must be: Practical (solves real problems), Defensible (explainable and auditable), Transparent (stakeholders understand what's automated), and Human-supervised (critical decisions remain with people).

AI Opportunity Mapping

Use Case	AI Application	Human Oversight
Discovery Analysis	Synthesize interview notes, identify patterns	Validate insights, confirm priority
Documentation Drafting	Generate first drafts of templates, playbooks	Review, refine, approve all content
Status Summarization	Compile weekly updates from multiple sources	Verify accuracy, add context
Pattern Recognition	Identify reusable patterns across pilots	Validate applicability, scope limits
Feedback Analysis	Categorize and summarize feedback themes	Interpret sentiment, decide actions
Research Acceleration	Summarize best practices, benchmark data	Evaluate relevance, applicability

Guardrails for Regulated Environments

Security

Use only approved AI tools meeting organizational security standards
Never input classified, ITAR-controlled, or customer-proprietary data
Maintain audit trail of AI-assisted work products

Transparency

Disclose AI assistance on deliverables where appropriate
Be prepared to explain AI-generated recommendations
Document which portions were AI-assisted

Human Oversight

All AI outputs require human review before use
Critical decisions remain exclusively human-made
AI recommendations are advisory only
Maintain ability to operate without AI if needed

"Decision support and productivity enablement in regulated environments — Not hype. Not buzzwords. Practical and defensible."
