Digital Transformation Health Check

A digital transformation health check helps businesses review the progress, direction and delivery of an existing transformation programme. It can examine objectives, governance, workstreams, technology dependencies and expected benefits to identify areas needing attention.

Agree the assessment scope, deliverables, timeline and rate directly with the independent talent you choose.

What you are buying

Scope of a transformation health check

A transformation review can cover delivery, governance, systems, adoption and expected outcomes. Agree which areas and workstreams are included before the job begins.

Programme objectives and progress

Review the current programme position against agreed objectives, plans and expected outcomes. Areas can include:

  • Business objectives
  • Programme scope
  • Delivery progress
  • Workstream status
  • Decision records
  • Expected benefits
  • Known risks
  • Dependencies

Governance and delivery coordination

Review whether responsibilities, decision processes, reporting and coordination support the transformation work currently under way.

Transformation programme coordination

Digital operating model

Systems and business processes

A transformation programme health check can examine technology dependencies, system changes and business processes affecting delivery.

ERP transformation

Business process digitisation

Adoption and expected benefits

Review whether business teams are prepared for changes and how progress towards intended benefits is being assessed.

Transformation benefits realisation

Timing

When a transformation health check helps

A digital transformation health check can support programme reviews, delivery decisions and planning for the next stage of transformation work.

Programme progress needs clarification

Use a health check when several transformation activities are under way and stakeholders need a clearer view of progress, concerns and next decisions.

Delivery dependencies need attention

Review how systems, suppliers, business teams and connected workstreams affect the programme's planned delivery.

Benefits need clearer measurement

An assessment can examine how intended business outcomes are defined, tracked and connected to the work being delivered.

Several initiatives need a shared view

A digital portfolio assessment can bring findings from different transformation initiatives together to identify overlapping risks and priorities.

Next delivery steps are being planned

Use the findings to inform a roadmap or defined improvement job when the required actions become clear.
