Align

Overview​

The Align Phase initiates the digital trust adoption journey by creating awareness, identifying potential use cases, and assessing readiness. It establishes a foundation of shared understanding and commitment among participants, setting the stage for successful progression through subsequent phases of discovery, trial, and scaling.

Key Outcomes​

  1. Build Awareness: Become aware of digital credentials through various channels such as websites, toolkits, or direct outreach. Learn about the potential benefits and applications of digital trust solutions for your organization.

  2. Determine Use Cases:
    Participate in collaborative sessions to brainstorm and evaluate potential use cases for your organization. This process helps select and scope a use case that aligns with your needs and capabilities.

  3. Check Readiness:
    Evaluate if your organization is prepared to move forward to the discovery phase. This assessment considers factors such as resource availability, organizational alignment, and technical readiness.

Considerations​

  • Expectation Management: Ensure clear understanding within your organization about what digital trust can and cannot achieve.

  • Resource Assessment: Identify potential resource limitations early in the process to avoid surprises later.

  • Scope Definition: Maintain focus on viable and valuable use cases to prevent project scope from expanding uncontrollably.

  • Internal Alignment: Ensure key decision-makers and teams within your organization are engaged and supportive from the early stages.
