Empowering CEOs

CEO Aligned Benefits of EPF

What does EPF give to CEOs ?

Strategic Clarity

A multinational logistics company was investing heavily in digital transformation but lacked visibility into how those investments aligned with business goals.

Using EPF’s Review phase, the firm captured a 360-degree diagnostic of technology assets, financial flows, and business processes. This enabled a clear map of tech expenditures versus strategic priorities.

The Assess phase then applied TBM principles to highlight 18% of spending not aligned with critical business outcomes.

EPF’s structured architecture design ensured tech enabled, rather than distracted from, core strategy.

Strategic dashboards were created for quarterly board reporting.

The CEO now views technology as a competitive lever, not a sunk cost, allowing investment prioritisation with precision.

A legacy manufacturing firm realised its product-centric model was rapidly losing relevance.

The EPF framework, beginning with a strategic baseline (Review), revealed over 60% of IT spend supported obsolete systems.

During Assess, EPF’s Application Rationalisation and Business Model Innovation (BMI) tools mapped outdated cost centres to innovation gaps.

Through EPF’s Design phase, the team co-created a new “platform-enabled services” model, shifting from product sales to outcome-based contracts.

Reallocation of 19% of tech budget, informed by TBM and cost transparency, funded the innovation pivot. The CEO presented this as a transformation success at their AGM.

Business Model Innovation

Executive Confidence

An energy provider's leadership faced paralysis due to fragmented tech data and inconsistent reporting.

EPF's Review uncovered major disconnects between cost centres and business services.

By using organised decision-support dashboards during the Assess phase, along with clear cost information and capability mapping, the speed of executive decision-making improved by 43%.

The CEO noted that strategic choices, from vendor exits to green investments, became faster and more confident.

EPF’s data-driven approach replaced guesswork with verifiable insight, bolstering board confidence in technology decisions.

A mid-market financial services firm faced stagnating margins and rising IT overhead.

EPF’s Review phase established a clear cost-to-value view using TBM and Value Stream Mapping.

The Assess phase exposed redundant licensing, underutilised cloud resources, and shadow IT practices.

These findings led to a Design phase that consolidated platforms, retired low-value apps, and restructured contracts.

The result was a 9.5% operational cost reduction without compromising service capability. The CEO repositioned technology as a driver of agility, not drag, realising new digital services faster than competitors.

Competitive Advantage

Board Ready Results

A retail chain preparing for digital expansion needed clear, auditable ROI insights.

EPF’s Engage phase delivered a board-aligned benefits realisation framework, with each initiative traced to strategic outcomes and measured using standardised KPIs.

A full Five Case Model was used to justify every investment.

The Review and Assess phases ensured that only value-adding technologies remained in scope.

As a result, project delivery capability rose 17% in one year. The CEO now presents quarterly dashboards that tie technology outputs directly to revenue growth, reducing board friction and elevating technology’s profile.
