The CBvd™ in Brief

The Capability Based Value Delivery (CBvd™) process is a gate-based methodology for managing the lifecycle of Enterprise Capabilities and incorporates best practices from leading frameworks such as PMI, COBIT, ITIL and TOGAF®.

This methodology ensures that the right information is available for you to make critical decisions to attain your desired business outcome by ensuring there is alignment in the initiatives being pursued. Performance information is delivered through the Enterprise Capabilities Investment Dashboard that monitors the progress of all projects in terms of resource utilization, timeline and quality of work products.

This methodology defines the quality of information needed to support business decisions throughout each phase of a capability’s lifecycle.
