Evidence In • Impact Out

SLEIA™

From Evidence to Impact

SLEIA™ is Kaizen’s integrated operating system for measurable social, legislative, and economic outcomes, centered on the D³ Change Model (Discover–Design–Deliver) with Drivers to the left and Enablers to the right. It works by building baselines, co-designing options, then piloting and scaling with KPI/SROI/VfM monitoring—powered by Impact Assessment Technologies, including EcoKaizen™, and anchored by Continuous Improvement foundations. It wins by producing decision-grade, auditable, and scalable results aligned with national priorities.

In the Discover program, we diagnose contexts and quantify baselines using CGE/IO models and stress tests, portfolio IO multipliers, value-chain mapping, and early KPI setup (dashboards, SDG-aligned metrics). This program is executed as follows:

  • Scope & Indicator Architecture: Define policy questions and hypotheses; map stakeholders; select models (e.g., CGE/IO, value-chain); design the indicator/KPI set and data plan.
  • Data & Baseline Build: Ingest/clean data; construct baselines (SAM/SNA, sectoral and regional); run initial scenarios/stress tests; prototype dashboards and geo-maps.
  • Validate & Sensitivity Review: Triangulate results with benchmarks and stakeholders; perform QA, back-testing, and sensitivity/distributional analyses; document assumptions and data lineage.
  • Prioritize & Mobilize: Convert findings into a prioritized issues/opportunities list; refine hypotheses and models; issue a baseline pack (dashboards, KPI dictionary, risk register) and hand off to Design.

In the Design program, we co-create and test policy and investment options: PPP/PSC and VfM structures; competition remedies using HHI/elasticities/merger simulations; sandbox scope and protocols; and legal drafting redlines with burden testing, validating options with stakeholders before institutionalization. This program is executed as follows:

  • Option Architecture & Co-Design: Define outcomes, constraints, and options with stakeholders; set success criteria. For PPPs, frame PSC/VfM tests; for competition, frame counterfactuals and potential remedies; for sandboxes, set scope, entry/exit, and success metrics; for drafting, agree clarity/enforceability/burden criteria; align sector/regional designs with Vision 2030 KPIs.
  • Prototype & Structuring: PSC benchmarks and risk-allocation term sheets; run merger simulations and elasticity models; draft sandbox protocols and monitoring dashboards; produce redlines and compliance-burden estimates; assemble portfolio/regional models (IO/GIS) to visualize distributional effects.
  • VfM & Compliance Validation: Test affordability/fiscal sustainability and lifecycle VfM; validate competition outcomes and remedies; perform sandbox midline/final evaluations; QA legal drafts against standards and verify enforcement-readiness; use risk/sensitivity matrices and stakeholder validation (Istitlaa/RIA) to compare options.
  • Decision Pack & Institutionalization: Issue decision memos and implementation roadmaps; finalize redlines and standards updates; publish sandbox policy notes; deploy monitoring toolkits/dashboards; sequence regional/sector pipelines for scaling.

In the Deliver program, we pilot and scale: establish baselines; implement initiatives; monitor performance with dynamic dashboards, SROI/KPI tracking, and VfM toolkits; run midline/endline evaluations; then review and expand what works for durable, evidence-based transformation. This program is executed as follows:

  • Mobilize & Baseline: Stand up delivery governance, risks, and workplan; establish measurable baselines and KPI dashboards aligned to Vision 2030 for clear “start lines.”
  • Pilot & Enable: Run controlled pilots and early rollouts using BI dashboards; build team capability through training to ensure on-the-ground readiness.
  • Measure & Evaluate: Monitor delivery with dynamic KPIs; evaluate financial/social returns (NPV, IRR, SROI); conduct midline/endline reviews and synthesize lessons.
  • Scale & Institutionalize: Review against SDG/SIA checks; scale successful solutions, update standards/policies, and deploy monitoring toolkits for sustained value-for-money.

How SLEIA™ Works?

SLEIA™ Success Model in Steps

SLEIA™ is a structured, six-phase journey from setup to sustained impact: Mobilize governance and tech, discover baselines and priorities, design de-risked options, deliver proven value, scale with standards and ownership; and continuously improve with PDCA/D³. Powered by EcoKaizen™ and impact assessment technologies, SLEIA™ methodology converts strategy into decision-grade, measurable results, outcomes.
