Digital Maturity Assessment

Your digital maturity at a glance – objective, holistic, pioneering.

Digitalization and the rapid rise of AI are changing your business, your industry, and your customers. New initiatives are on the agenda, budgets are being approved, and projects are being launched. Yet one crucial question often remains unanswered: Where do you actually stand? Without an honest assessment of your digital maturity, the foundation is missing. Resources are poured into the wrong areas, teams work at cross-purposes, and there is no shared understanding of what truly takes priority. What you need is clarity before you invest in the next initiative.

Solution Approach

What if you had a transparent, reliable foundation upon which all future digitalization decisions could be built? That is exactly what our Digital Maturity Assessmentprovides. We look at your company holistically – not through isolated individual assessments, but across key core areas: strategy, customer, product & service, data & technology, and organization & processes. Using our structured Digital Excellence Framework we capture the current digital maturity level of your company and create initial recommendations for action, based on your corporate strategy and business goals. This creates a shared understanding of the current situation, ambitions, and next steps – serving as a solid basis for decision-making for management, departments, and IT.

Benefits

  • Shared understanding of the current situation and target vision through a holistic view of strategy, customers, products & services, data & technology, as well as organization & processes
  • Clear priorities for digitalization, through an objective assessment of the current digital maturity level across all relevant business areas
  • Sound basis for investment and decision-making, by identifying the most significant areas for action and deriving initial strategic recommendations
  • Increased effectiveness of digitalization initiatives through a measurable starting point and clearly defined maturity levels, allowing you to manage progress rather than just hope for it

Approach

  1. Clarify expectations & goals: We work together to define the target vision, the scope of the assessment, and the relevant stakeholders.
  2. Data Collection & Analysis (Workshop): In a multi-day workshop, we work with you and your key stakeholders to collect data across more than 60 topic areas – structured by strategy, customer, product & service, data & technology, and organization & processes.
  3. Assess current maturity level: We summarize all findings in a clear Digital Maturity Report.
  4. Synthesis & Preparation: We consolidate all data and assessments into a coherent overall picture – providing a foundation for the next steps.
  5. Identify & prioritize areas for action: We develop a realistic target vision and clear recommendations for each core area – aligned with your strategy, market position, and capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions? We have the answers.

Which areas of the company are specifically evaluated in the assessment?

We analyze five core areas: Strategy, Customer, Product & Service, Data & Technology, and Organization & Processes. Within these areas, we cover over 60 topics, ensuring that no relevant aspect of your digital maturity is overlooked.

How much time should I and my team set aside for the workshop?

The assessment workshop spans 1–2 weeks, with the actual time commitment for your team spread across several focused sessions. You should plan for 2–4 hours per session, ensuring that day-to-day operations remain undisturbed.

Do we need specific documents or preparation before the assessment begins?

Ideally, you should provide existing strategy documents, organizational charts, and an overview of ongoing digitalization initiatives. Perfect documentation is not a requirement—gaps in your data are themselves a valuable indicator of your maturity level.

What distinguishes your assessment from standardized online self-tests?

Online self-assessments provide superficial scores without context. Our approach combines structured data collection with qualitative workshop dialogue, an external perspective, and strategic classification—the result is not just a number, but a robust basis for decision-making with concrete recommendations for action.

What happens after the assessment—are we left on our own?

No. The Digital Maturity Report contains prioritized areas for action and initial strategic recommendations that can be directly translated into a digitalization roadmap. Upon request, we can also support you during the implementation phase—from strategy development to the execution of individual initiatives.
