Let me start with Step 1: Defining Implementation Assets and Enabling Assets.

ASSET DEFINITIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS

Implementation Assets

Definition: Concrete, actionable tools, templates, and frameworks that are directly used to execute specific aspects of the Borderless Delivery Model implementation.

Characteristics:

• Highly structured and standardized
• Ready-to-use with minimal customization
• Contains clear instructions and usage guidelines
• Includes validation checkpoints and success criteria
• Produces measurable outputs
• Directly supports implementation activities

Examples:

• Assessment templates
• Implementation checklists
• RACI matrices
• Configuration guides
• Scoring frameworks
• Workflow templates

Enabling Assets

Definition: Supporting materials, guides, and resources that provide context, best practices, and methodological guidance to effectively use Implementation Assets.

Characteristics:

• Educational and explanatory in nature
• Provides context and background
• Includes best practices and lessons learned
• Offers flexibility in application
• Focuses on knowledge transfer
• Supports decision-making

Examples:

• Best practice guides
• Training materials
• Decision frameworks
• Case studies
• Reference architectures
• Implementation playbooks

Key Differences

1. Usage:

   • Implementation Assets: Direct execution
   • Enabling Assets: Guidance and support

2. Structure:

   • Implementation Assets: Highly structured, standardized
   • Enabling Assets: More flexible, contextual

3. Output:

   • Implementation Assets: Specific deliverables
   • Enabling Assets: Knowledge and capability

4. Customization:

   • Implementation Assets: Minimal customization needed
   • Enabling Assets: Adaptable to different contexts
