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.
