Digital Readiness Assessment
In a world that’s now powered by big data and advanced technologies, digital is disrupting everything from business models to entire industries – and impacting organizations – from top to bottom. Many organizations are asking “What is my digital strategy?” Does your current business strategy still work in a digital world?
To unlock your digital agenda, you need a clear vision of where you are starting from. You need to understand digital across all the component parts of your business and assess the sum of these parts. This gives you essential context against which to make decisions about all of your digital initiatives, helping you to identify priorities and develop a common digital vision for your organization.
Our Digital Readiness Assessment (DRA) will give you that context. The DRA enables a sustainable, tailor-made strategy that directly offers added value from square one.
First Identify and evaluate your company’s digital maturity. Our experience has shown that, in all cases, strategy development requires the use of proven methods, structures, and processes that are intelligently adapted to the company and its aims. This is certainly a difficult thing in the area of digital transformation because currently only a handful of companies have implemented any promising digital strategies – and also because a company’s own strategy can therefore only be oriented on a very limited scale to similar successful approaches others have tried. How can this dilemma be solved? Our recommendation: Begin by identifying and evaluating the digital maturity of your company in all 7 key areas:
- Strategy
- Culture
- Monitoring
- Customers
- Organization and control
- Technology management
- People and capabilities
With this kind of Digital Readiness Assessment, you will receive a very precise evaluation of your company’s digital maturity in seven decisive areas

Digital Diagnostic
Are you ready to ‘Go Digital’? Business leaders today hear a myriad of value propositions for digital transformation. Uber, JustEat, Booking.com. We all know the names. But, where to start in your business and especially ‘how’ can be very daunting.
A Digital Diagnostic helps businesses determine their digital readiness and help identify the right areas to focus on when building their digital strategy. It can also be used to determine digital opportunities that may or may not exist in several key areas of the business: Customer experience, Operations, Organization, Technology and Business Models.
This process can help clients understand what threats and opportunities digital might pose to the business and to what degree. It can also help organizations get a better view of where their opportunities and threats are coming from and what strategy and actions are needed within their organization to build competitive advantage in a quickly evolving digital business environment. This diagnostic can be applied to any industry and any business.
Digital Operating Model
Digital leaders are today defined by the successful alignment of three key components: business, technology and operations. Business (business and revenue model) and technology (platforms and solutions) are always mentioned in the digital context, but effective management of operations (the way you do things) is equally as important and often neglected.
We help companies define their future Digital Operating Model to address:
- What potential operating models exist in a digital world?
- What is the best operating model for your company an how to design it?
- How do we conduct the necessary transformation?
- Do we need to train our staff? What are the main gaps in knowledge and skills?
Digital Transformation Mapping
Holistic corporate-wide transformations normally take a long time to execute. Such transformations are a must, but many revenue lines and products cannot afford multiple years to enter new innovation cycles. The competition will not wait. Our methodology integrates business, operations, technology and organization principles to create an actionable Digital Transformation Strategy.
Digital Transformation Mapping is designed to help business leaders answer a number of challenging questions and to engage senior business leaders in the changing world of technology while accelerating the digital agenda.
- What should your digital strategy be and what is the business case for change?
- How do you reinvent your business to stay relevant?
What are the key milestones and the roadmap ahead?
