Episode 23 | Transformation Readiness Quiz
The Big Themes:
- Project success depends on preparation: About half of enterprise software and digital transformation initiatives fail, and Raven Intelligence data points to the fact that many companies simply don’t have their ducks in a row before getting started.
- Inside the Readiness Tool: Bonnie explains that the tool is both free and easy to use. Anyone on the project team can complete it by answering 14 questions about stakeholder support, team leadership and roles, change management, and planning and prep.
- The benefits of assessing readiness: The tool will provide a score, one through 100, that will help companies gauge where they are on the spectrum in terms of readiness. It’s essentially a litmus test for, should we start this project now?
The Big Quote: “You’d be surprised how many customers go through the motions—they select a software, they select the partner, and they truly aren’t ready internally to start the project. And lo and behold, they choose a great software, they choose a great partner, and it still fails.”
