Eight questions that score how ready your organisation is to get value from digital investment, across objectives, sponsorship, process, data, integration, change, funding and measurement.
Most digital maturity conversations happen at the level of ambition. This assessment forces them down to the level of evidence: eight fixed questions, three answers each, the same score for the same answers, nothing stored or sent anywhere.

Before the next digital commitment, put it to selected senior operators from the Global Board and receive a confidential report.
Bring independent operator perspectives into this decisionAnswer for the organisation as it operates today, not as the transformation roadmap says it will operate.
On these answers, digital spend is running ahead of the foundations it depends on. New platforms will land on undigitised processes and unowned data, which is how organisations end up paying twice: once for the technology and once for the retrofit.
The organisation has real digital assets but they are unevenly anchored: sponsorship or funding is in place, while adoption, integration or measurement lags. This is the stage where programmes look successful in steering packs and underdeliver in the P&L.
Most of the machinery works: objectives, sponsorship and platforms are broadly in place. The remaining risk is subtler: momentum. Mature-looking programmes attract bigger bets, and the discipline that got you here is exactly what the next large commitment will test.
The answers describe an organisation that treats digital as an operating discipline rather than a programme. The residual risk is self-referential: strong internal capability tends to trust its own analysis, and the failures at this level come from shared blind spots, not missing process.
Digital investment fails less often on technology choice than on the conditions around it: processes that were never redesigned, data no one owns, benefits no one measures. Scoring those conditions before the next commitment tells you whether new spend will compound or evaporate. It is a cheaper lesson taken now than after the platform is live.
Each of the eight questions offers three fixed answers worth 0, 5 or 10 points. The total is normalised to 100 and mapped to one of four maturity bands. Everything runs in your browser and the same answers always give the same score, so you can re-run it each quarter and watch the movement.
The most revealing use of this assessment is not the score but the spread. Have three or four leaders complete it independently and compare answers question by question. When the CFO scores funding clarity at 10 and the programme director scores it at 0, that disagreement is worth more than any band label.
No. It is a deliberately compact set of eight conditions that determine whether digital spend converts into commercial outcomes. Formal maturity frameworks are more granular; this is built for a leadership conversation, not a certification.
Today, strictly. Scoring the target state is how programmes convince themselves the foundations exist before they do. The gap between your score today and a year ago is the honest measure of progress.
It means the conditions for getting value are broadly present. It cannot tell you whether the specific investment is the right one. That is a decision-level question, and the one worth putting to independent operators before signature.
