Studies show that about 70 % of transformation initiatives fail. Typical challenges include:

Lack of necessity for change

Employees and managers do not recognize why change is necessary.

Insufficient participation

Without the active engagement of the executive management, there is a lack of guidance and support.

No real-time
Feedback

A lack of progress monitoring creates uncertainty and resistance.

Missing
Co-creation

Whoever excludes employees loses valuable perspectives and ideas.

One-sided
Communication

A lack of dialogue and engagement undermines the transformation process.

To avoid these pitfalls, organizations must start by clearly assessing their current state—much like a doctor evaluates a patient before treatment.

Our health assessment approach provides companies with precisely this diagnosis. Using a topic-agnostic framework, we enable companies to objectively evaluate their current situation and implement targeted optimization measures.

Collaboration with executive management in identifying pain points and transformation goals, defining relevant dimensions, and establishing demographic parameters for the analysis.

1. Initialization phase

2. Data collection phase

Combine qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current state and ensure that all relevant perspectives are captured.

Perform a gap analysis to identify discrepancies between the current and desired state. Use automated visualizations to highlight key indicators with the greatest business value. Create a detailed roadmap based on the prioritized opportunities to develop targeted strategies and initiatives.

3rd phase of analysis and prioritization

4. Implementation and Validation Phase

Use of the roadmap for implementation with regular evaluations to ensure measurable progress and necessary adjustments.

Flexibility

The approach can be adapted to any type of transformation, whether Agile Maturity, Organizational Health, or SAP Stable Operations.

Measurability

Subjective topics such as agility or culture are made tangible and comparable through scientifically validated methods and Likert scales.

Data-driven insights

Automated visualizations such as radar charts and bubble charts make it easy to identify priorities and opportunities at a glance.
