Template: Data and Analytics Maturity Model

Our data and analytics maturity model assessment template gives you a great head start towards the complex task of assessing an organization’s data & analytics maturity.

The model template follows a high level approach and then you can drill down as needed.

It includes 10 simple yet impactful questions that cover a wide spectrum of topics for data & analytics maturity:

Is it an after thought?
Data management & reconciliation
Compliance
Reporting
Cloud adoption
AI Operationalization
Closed loop analytics
Innovation
Collaboration
Skills

Some of the questions are multiple choice where we felt we can let the respondents make some hard choices. Others use the sliding scale (rate from 1 to 5) and allow you to capture the perceptions of multiple stakeholders. Then you can conduct a workshop to see why these stakeholders have differing views – a very powerful alignment technique.

Potential Enhancements

Unless you are just using this for lead generation on your website, you can and should customize the template when you use it for specific clients. Here are some changes you could make to the data & analytics maturity model assessment template.

Group questions into dimensions such as Voice of customer, data, compliance technology, operations, etc. Then you can add more questions inside each dimension and make the assessment more comprehensive.
Since you will have specific services and know the detailed context of your clients, use checkbox or radio button questions instead of a slider. That will allow you to be more objective and position your services better.
Add your own description of what the rating bands mean.
Add your own feedback text for each dimension and question to explain what the scores mean
Add profile fields to divide your audience by function (technology, operations etc.) and role (CIO, architect, analyst etc.) – an excellent way to see the differences in perception and drive alignment
