A structured delivery model across four dimensions, built from 20 inputs. Scored against published DORA, Atlassian, and McKinsey benchmarks. Results are immediate.
Delivery performance failure carries a direct financial cost. Research by DORA (2024) shows that organisations in the lowest performance quartile have flow times 25 times longer than high performers, translating to compounding overhead rather than value delivery. Atlassian data indicates that 54% of cross-team work is duplicated in typical organisations, a structural tax absorbed as invisible operating cost. McKinsey's work on decision latency shows organisations lose between 10% and 20% of addressable productivity to slow approvals and unclear authority. For a mid-market financial services firm with 100 to 200 employees, these structural gaps compound: delivery delays create rework, rework increases headcount dependency, and dependency slows the decisions needed to resolve it. APRA-regulated firms carry additional exposure because slow delivery and opaque decision-making create audit gaps, not just cost inefficiencies. The Flow Health Platform makes these losses measurable before they become regulatory findings.
Each dimension is scored on a 0–100 scale using three methods: benchmarked percentile curves, normalised scales, and binary capability checks. Scores are weighted to produce an overall Flow Health Score.
Measures the speed and predictability of work moving from idea to completion. Most organisations are operating at 10–15% flow efficiency, 85–90% of cycle time is wait, not work.
Measures the overhead created by cross-team coordination. Atlassian data shows 54% of cross-team work is duplicated in typical organisations. Dependencies are the hidden tax on delivery speed.
Measures how fast decisions move from question to action. McKinsey research shows executives spend 40% of time on decisions, and 61% of that time is ineffective. Slow decisions are a direct cost.
Measures the structural conditions that determine whether AI investment will produce returns or just add cost. Linked directly to the AI ROI Platform for organisations that want a deeper view.
Every completed Flow Health Platform run produces two outputs, an interactive dashboard with your scores and a 14-page publication-quality PDF report.
Illustrative output, your scores reflect your organisation's data
All tiers include the full 20-input model, scored dashboard, and 14-page PDF report. Growth and Enterprise add tracking across multiple runs.
Every dimension score is positioned against published research from organisations with direct relevance to Australian mid-market delivery environments.
Elite teams have 127× faster lead times and 182× higher deployment frequency than low performers. In 2024, only 19% of teams are classified as elite. The low-performing cluster grew from 17% to 25% year-on-year.
Survey of 5,000 knowledge workers including 535+ Australian respondents. 54% of cross-team work is duplicated. 93% of Fortune 500 executives believe teams could achieve the same outcomes in half the time.
Executives spend 40% of time on decisions. 61% say at least half of that time is ineffective. A single large organisation wastes ~530,000 manager-days per year on ineffective decision-making.
Australian knowledge workers spend 58% of time on "work about work." They lose 3.2 hours per week to unnecessary meetings and estimate 5.7 hours per week is recoverable with better processes.
