IT Readiness Assessment: A clear view of your IT capabilities

How well is your IT really positioned today? Is it actively enabling growth and innovation, or does it primarily serve as a cost factor and operational enabler? Many companies face this question but lack a robust, structured view of their current IT capabilities.
 

With the IT Readiness Assessment, you receive a robust, data-driven view of your IT capabilities.The analysis covers core dimensions such as Strategy, Architecture, Organization, Cost Management, Cloud & Sourcing, as well as Data and Innovation Capabilities. On this basis, your organization is systematically evaluated and benchmarked against comparable peers.

 

The assessment creates transparency around the strengths and weaknesses of your IT and clearly identifies the areas with the greatest need for action. At the same time, it serves as an objective starting point for strategic decisions and the prioritization of transformation initiatives.
 

Your Benefits at a Glance:

  • A clear view of your IT capabilities
  • Benchmark against a relevant peer group
  • Identification of concrete improvement levers
  • Foundation for a structured IT transformation

 

 

The assessment takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete.

#07 Marc-André Gimmy: Chair of the Labor Law Committee at the BRAK
In this episode of TRANSFORMENTORS®, Dr. Gunnar Binnewies of Fortlane Partners and Marc-André Gimmy of Taylor Wessing discuss a topic that is often underestimated in many companies—yet has a massive impact on transformation, leadership, and strategy: works councils and workforce reductions in practice. When companies grow, restructure, or have to reduce their workforce, management faces complex decisions:How do you handle employee participation? What leeway is actually available? And when does legal structuring become strategic steering? This episode shows why labor law is far more than just compliance—it is a key lever for business decisions, speed, and execution. The focus is on real-world case studies, structural levers for managing works council structures, differences between voluntary reduction programs and traditional social plans, as well as typical cognitive biases in management. Open, nuanced, and without legal oversimplification. A must-listen for CEOs, consultants, and executives who must not only accompany transformation but also actively shape it.
