It is a defined assessment service. Agree the scope, deliverables, timeline and rate directly with the talent you choose.
What you are buying

- Core business systems
- Digital tools
- System integrations
- Technology dependencies

Review how important business processes operate today, where digital tools support them and where gaps or duplication may exist.
Data and information
Assess how data is captured, shared and used across the areas included in the digital transformation assessment.
Digital capabilities
Review the capabilities needed to support the next stage of digitalisation, including ownership, skills, operating practices and the ability to manage technology change.
Timing
When businesses use a digital maturity assessment
A digital readiness assessment Europe review can support several business situations.
A transformation is being considered
Use an assessment to understand the current position before deciding which transformation priorities need investment.
Digital initiatives feel disconnected
A business digitalisation assessment can help identify how systems, processes and capabilities fit together before further work is planned.
Technology investment needs direction
Review the current environment before selecting new software, platforms or transformation projects.
The business has changed
Growth, new processes, acquisitions or changes in how teams work can create a useful point to reassess digital capabilities.
You already know what needs to be implemented
Move to the relevant implementation or transformation service when the required work has already been defined.
