The problem it solves

Every successful company reaches a point where it needs to know, honestly, where its management really stands — not in the board's perception, but in the reality of day-to-day processes, people, and results.

This assessment preserves the fundamentals of MEG and incorporates Baldrige, EFQM 2020, and ISO 9004:2018, adding what the classic models left out: a dedicated dimension for technology, innovation, and digital transformation.

What it assesses

What the assessment evaluates

Each dimension is assessed in depth — no critical area is left out.

Leadership & Corporate Governance

Leadership, organizational identity, ethics, governance, and developing the next generation of leaders.

Strategy, Planning & Execution

Strategy formulation, balanced targets (BSC), tracked action plans, and the ability to review.

Customers, Market & Experience

Customer knowledge, relationship (CRM), satisfaction management (NPS), and loyalty strategies.

People, Culture & Development

Competency-based hiring, training, performance, health and safety, climate, culture, and D&I.

Processes, Operations & Quality

Standardization and BPM, indicators and continual improvement, suppliers, and financial controls.

Technology, Innovation & Digital Transformation

Innovation as a portfolio, digital transformation, data and analytics, and AI adoption with governance.

Society, ESG & Sustainability

Proactive legal compliance, environmental impacts, social responsibility, and ESG as a decision criterion.

Knowledge, Information & Intelligence

Secure information systems, knowledge management, and competitive intelligence through benchmarking.

Results & Organizational Performance

Results across four perspectives: customers, people, financial/operational, and society.

The scale

The 5 maturity levels

Each dimension and the organization as a whole are placed at a clear level — color, number, and name.

1
Reactive

The company runs on improvisation: processes depend on people, decisions come from intuition, and success comes from individual effort.

2
Emerging

The first formal moves appear — some documentation and basic indicators — but inconsistent across areas.

3
Standardized

Established management, with documented strategy and standardized processes; the challenge is the gap between paper and practice.

4
Integrated

Professional, integrated management: strategy deployed into indicators, data-driven processes, and technology and ESG already strategic.

5
Benchmark

A benchmark in the sector: adaptive strategy, innovation as a portfolio, integrated ESG, and sustainable results with favorable benchmarking.

Calibrated, not generic

Provenance and calibration

The analysis carries the reasoning of the reference frameworks — that’s what separates a calibrated assessment from generic advice.
