Digital Transformation Capability Assessment Programme
Invest in capabilities and technologies that deliver sustainable business growth and improve business performance by leveraging digital technologies that align with organisational capabilities and strategic objectives. Benefit from a practical and scientifically robust assessment and growth tool that guides your business in prioritising investment in capabilities and digital technologies to achieve your strategic objectives.
An Introduction To The Programme
The Digital Transformation Capability Assessment Programme is sponsored by the Smart Manufacturing Data Hub until January 2025, a collaborative effort between Vyne Analytics and the Business Performance and Capability Lab at Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University.
The programme addresses the high failure rate of digital transformation projects (50-70%) by offering a comprehensive assessment tool for SMEs to check their digitalisation readiness.
The programme includes a free one-year subscription to Vyne Analytics’ capability assessment dashboard and one onsite audit, funded by the Smart Manufacturing Data Hub, valued at £5000 per SME, and available to up to 60 companies. The assessment includes business value streams, strategy, culture, technologies, and supply structure.

What Makes Us Different?
The failure rate of digital transformation projects is 50-70%. Current digitalisation programmes focus on data and stakeholders, without necessarily linking to the rest of the business such as culture, strategy, and business performance. More specifically, an impact assessment of technology-capability investment on financial performance is often neglected.
Programme Features
Leverage our Capability Performance Dashboard for holistic and granular views of the capabilities driving your business's digital transformation. Measure, track, and develop your business's digital transformation capability maturity, and convert our unique data into effective development programmes that underpin real growth. Detailed capability performance dashboards strengthen SMEs' data-driven decision-making. They help SMEs engage with stakeholders in meaningful two-way conversations about their progress against growth targets. Capability Performance Dashboards help SMEs identify and focus on the strengths they can capitalise on.
Capability Performance Dashboard
Our audit approach allows us to create strategically meaningful and realistic roadmaps we share and use with your senior management in a participative manner to ensure sustained competitive advantage and improve business performance in the long term. Our Strategic Roadmaps initiate SMEs on a continuous journey of adapting digital solutions and capabilities through organisational learning. We emphasise the importance of continuous improvement as a foundational capability for SMEs embarking on digital transformation programmes.
Strategic Roadmaps
From our experience delivering technology-capability audits with SMEs, we recognise the need to include strategic objectives in the auditing process, evidently stimulating client engagement. Our approach initiates SMEs on a continuous journey of adapting digital solutions and capabilities through organisational learning. On-site technology-capability audits require a full day with personnel of the respective SME. This is designed to minimise the risk of business disruption by minimising activity interruption and maximising auditor observation of processes as they are normally executed.
