Many organisations are pursuing multiple transformations in parallel, and tackling seismic problems that are too big or complex to be solved in one go. A solution to that overwhelm is the Discovery Factory. 

A “Discovery Factory” breaks problems and transformation goals into manageable-sized chunks, and applies repeatable processes and proven methods to design and deliver solutions at pace and scale – again and again. This way-of-working enables Business Analysts, Architects and Designers to operate like an assembly line and maximise productivity.

We will share our experience setting up and running a Discovery Factory for one of the largest and most complex government departments in the UK. We will share the six critical success factors for a Discovery Factory: the right talent; an infectious culture; brutal prioritisation; repeatable processes; strategic tooling; and visionary leadership and explain how this led one team of BAs to complete over 120 discoveries in a year.
