A prioritised delivery risk map
Scored, ranked findings across the six domains.
Tell me more
Every finding is a scoped piece of work, mapped from the risk matrix and grounded in interviews with your own stakeholders.
Proactive Delivery Risk Mitigation
The board just asked whether you're on top of delivery risk. Could you show them?
Most programmes can't. Not because the risk isn't known, but because it lives in people's heads, spreadsheets and amber ratings nobody can evidence. We make it visible, scored and owned, in two weeks, at a fixed price.
What we do
An independent read on your delivery risk, in two weeks
We assess your programme across the six places delivery risk concentrates, working alongside your team for two weeks at a fixed price. Every risk is surfaced, scored against consistent criteria and given an owner, and you keep a board-ready summary and a costed mitigation roadmap your own people can run.
The engagement is cooperative and non-intrusive: no live system access, and no disruption to delivery. You get an independent, strategic read of your programme, and the evidence to show you’re on top of its risk.
The challenge
Sound familiar?
When asked “are we on top of our delivery risk?”, the honest answer on most programmes is “we think so”. None of these mean yours is failing. They mean its risk is invisible, and invisible risk doesn't announce itself. It turns up at cutover, or in an incident.
Self-check
Where delivery risk hides: a six-question self-check
Delivery risk concentrates in six places. These are the questions the assessment answers, and the ones to have in hand before the board asks. Tick the ones you could answer today.
Tick the questions you could answer with evidence today.6 of the six without a ready answer. That's what ungoverned delivery risk looks like from the inside, and exactly what the assessment makes visible. Good coverage. 6 of the six still open, which is normal mid-programme. The assessment turns them into scoped, costed work. Six ready answers. You're in better shape than most programmes we meet, and an independent check makes those answers defensible.
How we help
What you get
Four artefacts, delivered in two weeks and built to outlast the engagement.
A board-ready summary
Risk and assurance in business language.
Tell me more
A version of the full findings written for your board: the artefact that gives the board confidence in your delivery.
A metrics baseline
Your current delivery and quality metrics.
Tell me more
Measured at the start, so any mitigation has a starting line to be judged against.
A costed mitigation roadmap
With a handover plan and a named in-house owner.
Tell me more
The roadmap draws on our wider delivery and quality frameworks, so your team can run the practice after we leave.
How we work
Surface, identify, decide
Two weeks, fixed price, working alongside your team.
Surface
Scope and success metrics agreed with your key stakeholders, then the six-domain sweep. It surfaces the risks weekly catchups miss, while they're still cheap to address.
Identify
Every risk scored against consistent criteria, assigned an owner and connected to the work that mitigates it. The findings are explicit about what's healthy and what not to spend on.
Decide
The register converts into decisions. We walk the roadmap and board-ready summary through with your risk sponsor, and a named in-house owner takes the practice on.

Proof
We've done this before
A New Zealand customer-owned bank
87 risks surfaced, scored and owned, mid core banking replacement
Partway into its core banking replacement, the bank asked Digizoo to make its delivery risk visible and actionable. The engagement ended with a register of 87 risks, each with an owner, a defensible score and a category. Every risk traced to verbatim stakeholder evidence, and every rating either cited its support or was flagged as defaulted, so review conversations focused on judgement rather than provenance.
The strategy deck became the programme's risk mitigation plan, and the bank kept the register as a living asset its own team extends as the delivery progresses.
“You were coming with fresh eyes. You've got that independence.”

FAQ
Questions we get asked
We already have a risk register. Why do we need you?
A register tells you what your programme has already written down. The sweep is generative: at the bank above, most of the 87 risks we surfaced were not on the register when we arrived. And a register isn't a plan. The difference is between risks being tracked and risks being acted on.
Won't you just find problems so you can sell us the fix?
The assessment is scoped on a problem you've already named, the findings come from your own data, and the risk map explicitly de-recommends: it says what not to spend on as well as what to fix. The board-ready artefact is yours and keeps its value even if you never buy another day from us.
How are you different from the Big Four?
Two weeks, fixed price and senior people only. No procurement programme, no pyramid of juniors. Our incentives point the other way too: we actively de-recommend. The deliverable stands on its own, every finding scoped and costed, yours to run with or without us.
What do you need from us?
A named sponsor, your risk register and delivery exports, and interview time with your delivery leads. No live system access required.
