Consulting Framework & Packages

The AF Value Accelerator Framework

Built on two decades of PI AF experience and wisdom, our framework targets the key areas that limit PI AF's full value potential — turning each engagement into a tailored plan to raise “value to the power of AF.”

The Framework

Six areas where AF value is won or lost

Each review pinpoints gaps across these dimensions and prioritizes the highest-value fixes.

📐

Governance & Standards

Naming, structure, templates, and standards that keep AF consistent, scalable, and easy to maintain.

Analytics Performance

Calculation health, scheduling, and efficiency — so AF analytics run fast and reliably at scale.

🧩

Data Quality & Context

Trustworthy, well-contextualized operational data as the foundation for every downstream decision.

📈

Consumption & Adoption

Driving real use across teams — turning a built-out AF into value people act on every day.

🏗

Architecture & Scale

An AF design that holds up across sites, enterprise rollouts, and growing analytics demands.

🎯

Value Realization

Connecting AF to business outcomes — performance, capacity, risk, and operational excellence.
