A complete scoring systems
Helping is not telling, but offering you as an organization or as a consultant a tool to objectively identify where you are right now and support you identify how you can improve based on 10 dimensions. Startech Alliance have selected these dimensions based on the impact on the digital transformation projects or digital business consultancy.

Using this scoring systems gives a progressive view of a company’s digital maturity.
Digital Transformation being a continuous journey, a company might oscillate between these categories or exist in more than one at a time, digital transformation spectrum being a broad continuum that showcases the varying degrees of digital maturity and adaptability among businesses.

On one end and probably about to reach the end, you have the Digital Resisters who cling to the past, often missing opportunities in the modern digital era. Their reluctance or inability to adapt places them at a significant disadvantage in today’s competitive market landscape.

Then, there are the Digital Explorers and Digital Players who have made noteworthy progress in their digital transformation journey. They’ve realized the need for change, have taken initial steps and are working towards better integration of digital tools and strategies. However, their efforts might still lack the depth, integration or strategic foresight needed to truly leverage the benefits of a digital world.

Further up the spectrum, Digital Transformers exemplify what it means to not just adapt but to leverage the digital realm for genuine competitive advantage. Their deep integration, customer-centric approach and proactive strategies position them as leaders within their industries. At the pinnacle, Digital Disrupters aren’t just part of the digital transformation conversation – they lead it.
