How We Work

The Rudd Path

Three phases, each building on the last.

Each phase ends with a defined deliverable the next phase builds on, so you always know what comes next and what you walk away with.

Every Rudd Path engagement starts with Discovery.
The Rudd Path

Three Phases, Discovery First

Each phase ends with a defined deliverable the next phase builds on. Follow the path as designed, and you get the outcome you planned.

PHASE 1 / DISCOVERY

Decide How the Work Should Run

Rudd and your leadership resolve the operating decisions behind the initiative: the outcome, how the work should run, and who owns and decides. Discovery ends with a Project Canvas, presented at an executive readout.

PHASE 2 / IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING

Plan the Change

A separate engagement, scoped from your Project Canvas. Rudd designs the solution architecture and the build plan, and you decide who will own the system after launch. Planning ends with an Execution Blueprint your organization approves.

PHASE 3 / IMPLEMENTATION

Deliver the Change

Starts once the Blueprint is approved. Rudd builds to it, validates every workflow with you, brings your people onto the new way of working through adoption and enablement, launches, and hands a working system to its owners.

Discovery comes first. The decisions come before the design and the build.

Questions

Common Questions

What people usually ask before they start.

What If We Already Have Documentation?

Bring it. Discovery uses it as input and confirms the decisions behind it with the people who own them.

What If the Answer Isn't New Software?

That is a useful answer. Discovery can show that the change is a process, governance, or ownership decision rather than a new system, before you invest in one.

What Platforms Do You Work On?

Rudd is platform agnostic, with deep expertise in core platforms like Airtable and Zite. We find them to be strong building blocks for enterprise systems, and we recommend what best fits the work.

Why Follow Every Phase?

Each phase of the path, from Discovery to Implementation Planning to Implementation, produces what the next one depends on. Skipping a phase means building on decisions nobody has made, which is where projects go wrong.

Who Runs the System After Implementation?

You decide during the engagement. You can run it yourselves, have Rudd run it through Managed Services, or build a Center of Excellence.
