Our Service

Our Rapid Digital Evaluation service provides a top-level assessment of the digital capabilities of an organisation. We aim to deliver within 5 working days, using a ‘low touch’ approach.

Suitable for both B2C and B2B businesses, the service gives an indication of digital maturity in the critical areas of go-to-market, operations, technology and human capital. Providing a telescopic view on strengths and risks to the business’s ability to meet its goals and future success.

Useful as a tool to assist your bidding process, provide direction when designing a more extensive due diligence process, evaluating or benchmarking a portfolio business, or any scenario where fast/top-level insight is required.
