Digital Innovation Assessment and Planning

Unlock your organization’s full digital potential. Use our online assessment and planning tool, anchored by a comprehensive digital innovation capability model and body of knowledge, to quickly evaluate your current maturity, plan actionable improvements, and operationalize innovation initiatives that drive measurable business value.

What is Digital Innovation Assessment and Planning?

Digital Innovation Assessment and Planning enables organizations to understand, manage, and accelerate their digital transformation journey by leveraging data, AI, and emerging technologies to create real business value. Unlike traditional innovation efforts that can be fragmented or based on incomplete knowledge, our offering provides a comprehensive, structured framework grounded in an extensive Digital Innovation Capability Model.

This Capability Model covers the full spectrum of digital innovation domains—ranging from customer knowledge and engagement, through integrated data analytics and process digitization, to IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and organizational readiness. The goal is to help organizations identify where they currently stand, where they want to be, and how to bridge that gap with a clear, actionable innovation roadmap.

Purpose-Built SaaS Tool for Accelerated and Cost-Effective Outcomes

At the heart of this offering is a purpose-built SaaS platform designed specifically for assessing and planning digital innovation capabilities. This tool sets us apart by delivering a combination of speed, cost-effectiveness, and quality that traditional consulting or generic assessment methods cannot match:

• Speed: The preloaded body of knowledge enables rapid assessments that can be completed in days rather than weeks or months.
• Cost Efficiency: Automating much of the assessment process reduces the need for costly on-site consultants or extensive workshops. Organizations can perform repeat assessments at a fraction of the traditional cost, supporting ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement.
• Quality and Rigor: Embedded in the tool is a validated and comprehensive capability model reflecting best practices and the latest thinking in digital innovation. It ensures assessments are thorough and consistent, with detailed guidance and context provided for each capability area. The platform also supports evidence-based documentation, critical for internal alignment and external reporting.

Together, these attributes allow organizations to perform high-quality, data-driven assessments and planning exercises that are accessible to both small teams and enterprise-scale businesses. The SaaS delivery model means you benefit from continual updates of the underlying model and features, ensuring your innovation strategy evolves with industry trends and emerging technologies.

By using this offering, organizations can confidently identify investment priorities, align teams around a clear digital vision, and deploy resources more strategically — all while maintaining flexibility and control over the assessment data.
